The DIGITAL Performance and Coverage Analyzer (PCA) is a software
development tool that helps you analyze the performance of
applications programs. It can measure, among others, where your
program spends its time, where it page faults, where it performs
I/O. It can also measure test coverage so you can tell which
codepaths in your program are or are not executed by a given set
of tests.
PCA consists of two components:
o The Collector;
o The Analyzer;
The Collector gathers performance and coverage data from a
running program and writes that data to a performance data file.
The Analyzer processes and displays that data in the form of
histograms and tables.
