The VB/FailSafe ($179.95) integrated debugging and performance-analysis system for Visual Basic for Windows integrates error interception, program tracing, and performance profiling into a single software tool. The package includes FS/Interceptor, which stabilizes a project and stops system crashes by intercepting and coding all errors by type, class, number, and description; FS/Tracer, which aids in isolating event-driven and client/server bugs, as well as bugs lurking within compiled executable programs that Visual Basic's built-in step-trace is unable to find; and FS/Profiler, which uses information from FS/Tracer to produce graphs and tables showing program performance, routine by routine.
