Javascript Profiling / Monitoring

Can someone recommend a tool for profiling / monitoring / analyzing Javascripts (client side). The tool should measure as much performance variants as possible, accurate, easy to use, and provide a good set of reports.

firebug - but it is not actually profiler,

but it might be used in such way in case you write logs in your js code.

Thanks, Igor.

 

I'm actually looking for a tool that I will be able to feed with HTML / JS, and will can an analysis in return. I would also need it to to its "magic" periodically. I would basically need this tool to verify a website's quality, while both in development, and maybe on the staging server - just before I upload the app to production.

Hi Itsu,

I'm new at Tikal and I'm currently working at Verint.
Does your "tool" should be cross platform? If not you may want to look into Selenium Firefox plugin
http://seleniumhq.org/projects/ide/
Basically this is an automated testing tool that enables you to create and play test scripts or debug HTML/JavaScript and other adjacent technologies. If I remember correctly you also get a timer running for each action that is done.
This may help.

Regards,

Dror

selenium is indeed a firefox plugin but it can also run tests on IE

Looks absolutely beautiful. Will give it a shot. I hope the free edition will cover my needs.

Thanks!
