A Significant Trace, Part 3: Bonus Features Complete the Trace Architecture for Wireless Apps
Overview Tracing functionality can serve as a powerful problem-determination technique for wireless software developers. A robust and efficient trace infrastructure proves vital for a modern software product - particularly in the wireless field, which, by its nature, can be more volatile than traditional computing environments. Unfortunately, wireless devices' small memory and storage sizes cause many wireless developers to ignore tracing, but properly constructed tracing facilities lets one diagnose problems without affecting performance. This three-part series introduces topics to consider while designing and implementing tracing in the wireless applications. Part 1 explored tracing issues relevant to wireless environments (a small footprint requirement, for example) and introduced the binary-trace implementation. Part 2, for its part, further refined the implementation by detailing four file-size reduction algorithms.
