Target Deployment Technology
All runtime analysis tools are based on Rational Source Code Insertion (SCI) technology. The overhead introduced by this technology is dependent both on the selected instrumentation level and on code complexity.
The Code Coverage feature requires the most free data space. The overhead for default Code Coverage levels (procedure/method entries and decisions) typically increases code size by 25%. Runtime Tracing, Memory Profiling and Performance Profiling introduce a significantly lower overhead (about 16 bytes per instrumented file).
The Component Testing features of Test RealTime do not typically require additional free memory because it is rare for the entire application to be run on the target.
