Using the Session Summary tab

The Session Summary tab, of the Execution Statistics view, displays the summarized statistics for a profiling session such as the "Top 10 Cumulative time" methods table and "Highest 10 Total Size" instances table. You can go to the source of a selected class or method in these tables using either the context menu or the corresponding toolbar button .

Prerequisites:

• Launching or attaching to a process for profiling
• Selecting the relevant data collectors and analysis types: you must profile with Execution Time Analysis to view the "Top 10 Cumulative time" table and with Memory Analysis to view the "Top 10 Total size" instances table.

Refreshing the tab

The Session Summary tab can be refreshed using the Refresh Views button in the Profiling Monitor toolbar. When the view is refreshed, changes are marked with delta icons:

• The delta icons and indicate that there is a change in the numeric value (increase or decrease respectively) for that particular cell since the last time the table was refreshed. 
• The diamond icon indicates new occurrences since the last time the Refresh Views button  was selected from the Profiling Monitor view.
