The Execution Statistics views displays statistics about the application execution time. It provides data such as the number of methods called, and the amount of time taken to to execute every method. Execution statistics are available at the package, class, method and instance level.
This view is made of a table where the first column presents the list of items. Four display modes are available based on four object types:
The data displayed depends what object type is selected. The statistics available for each object are summarized in the table below.
