Abstract

A runtime of a computer program may be measured by providing the compiled computer program with at least a first watchpoint and a second watchpoint at respective first and second code locations, running the compiled computer program on a computing device, measuring a first time parameter at the first watchpoint and a second time parameter at the second watchpoint, and determining the runtime of at least part of the compiled computer program in terms of the second time parameter and the first time parameter.
