Going Further with Instruments
Instruments is a highly explorable tool. After a developer has an understanding of the basic functionality and controls, the majority of instruments become very easy to deduce. Apple continues to aggressively improve on and push for developers to leverage instruments. At this point there are tools to troubleshoot just about everything an app does from Core Data to battery statistics, and there are even tools to help optimize animations in both Core Animation and OpenGL ES. To learn more about a particular instrument, visit Apple’s online documentation at http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/InstrumentsUserGuide/Introduction/Introduction.html.
