• AQTime with the appropriate Microsoft Visual Studio Integration package.

In your AQTime project, specify the modules to be profiled, profiling areas, triggers and actions and so on. Make sure that your AQTime project functions as expected.

1. Open your Visual Studio test project in Visual Studio or create a new one.
