Abstract: An embodiment can include an interactive memory map that includes a graphical representation of a region of memory used by a program. The memory map may dynamically update as the program executes and may provide a user with indicators that identify how the program interacts with the memory. The indicators may identify memory locations that are being written by the program and/or memory locations that are being read by the program while the program executes. The memory map may assist a user in understanding how the executing program interacts with memory. The interactive memory map may further allow the user to manipulate how information is stored in the memory by allowing the user to select, add, remove, modify, move, etc., program information stored in the memory.

Abstract: Methods and systems for automatically measuring productivity and quality of model-based designs are disclosed. The present invention uses model contents, time spent, and input activities to measure effort put in a task and quality of the task. Defects and other model characteristics are tracked and used as a criterion to determine quality of a model-based design. The present invention allows for predicting resources required for a future task and for providing guidelines to improve usability of an application.
