MethodTracker Tool

What it does

The MethodTracker Tool allows you to run individual unit tests while automatically capturing detailed runtime information about method calls in your codebase. It tracks execution in a hierarchical manner, storing the following information for each method call:

  • Method Name: Name of the invoked method.
  • Parameters: Method parameters and their values.
  • Return Type: Type of the returned value.
  • Return Value: The value returned from the method.
  • Start Time: Timestamp of method entry.
  • End Time: Timestamp of method exit.
  • Elapsed Time: Total time spent executing the method (including nested calls).
  • Exclusive Elapsed Time: Execution time excluding nested method calls.
  • Memory Usage:
    • Memory Before: Memory usage before method execution.
    • Memory After: Memory usage after method execution.
    • Memory Increase: Difference in memory consumption due to the method call.
  • Exceptions: List of any exceptions thrown during method execution.
  • Children: Nested method calls made within this method call.

All method calls are captured and structured hierarchically, giving clear insights into your test's execution flow.


Usage

To use MethodTracker Tool, annotate your test methods as follows:

[Fact]
public async Task Sample()
{
    MethodLogger.Initialize("Sample");

    // Your test code here

    MethodLogger.PrintJson();
}

Then, specify which assemblies to instrument by adding the following attribute in an assembly-level file:

[assembly: AssemblyMarker(typeof(A_SERVICE_FROM_TARGET_ASSEMBLY))]

Replace A_SERVICE_FROM_TARGET_ASSEMBLY with a type from the assembly you'd like to track.

Important:

  • Run only one test at a time, as Harmony patches apply globally. Running tests in parallel will cause unexpected behavior.

Use this tool in conjunction with the MethodTracker Visualizer.
