Analyzing your App's performance
Visual Studio 2013 has added additional app performance and diagnostic tools over what was found in VS2012. The Performance and Diagnostics menu provides the following tools:
- CPU Sampling: This tests what parts of your app are CPU intensive.
- Energy Consumption: This runs your app to determine how much power it consumes. It is a useful guide to maximize battery life when your app is being run on a portable device.
- XAML UI Responsiveness: Ensuring your app feels fast to users is critical to its adoption. This tool helps you monitor where your app may need optimization.
