Is there a visual studio plug-in that will track how long it takes to compile and run a project?
Basically I’m trying to make a case to get faster computers for the development department. It seems like it takes a minute or so every time I want to run/debug, so I want a way to track how long ever day/week/month my computer spends compiling.
We are using visual studio 2005, .net 2.0 in C#.
For C++, you can turn on build timing, in VS2005, this is under Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions > VC++ Project Settings > Build Timing. Not sure if this applies to other languages. This only times each individual build and spits the result to the output window. If you want to track statistics, then you’d need to parse this and store it somehow.
