Profiler

VB Watch Profiler measures the speed of a running Visual Basic program. It displays the time spent in each procedure and/or a line of code. This information can be used in code optimization to detect bottleneck procedures and lines. The Profiler can also be used to measure code coverage
Code coverage
Code coverage is a measure used in software testing. It describes the degree to which the source code of a program has been tested. It is a form of testing that inspects the code directly and is therefore a form of white box testing....

Debugger

VB Watch Debugger monitors what happens inside a running Visual Basic program or library. It displays the call stack
