Get up-to-speed with the latest Windows Qt debugging and performance tools
This training gives an introduction to various tools to help developers and testers in finding bugs and performance issues.
The tools presented cover a wide range of problems, from general purpose debugging and CPU profiling to Windows specific high-level analyzers. Often, it is relatively simple to run a tool, but interpreting the results, or even just using some of the more advanced tools, requires deep technical knowledge.

Why learn about Debugging and Profiling?
The time spent writing code is often dwarfed by the time required to find bugs and improve performance. This training makes your development workflow more efficient: You will learn what tool to use in which situation, how to set it up and run it on an application. And, finally, you will learn how to analyze and interpret the results obtained from the various tools.
