Case Study: Autodesk achieves rapid detection and resolution of performance bottlenecks with SmartBear AQtime Pro

AutoDesk Uses AQtime for Fast, Reliable and Accurate Profiling

Autodesk, the maker of AutoCAD and a leader in design software, needed a reliable profiler to quickly locate performance slowdowns in its large, multi-module CAD applications. Existing approaches—Visual Studio tools, task manager, stopwatches and embedded timing—were fragmented, slow, and inadequate for the millions of lines of code and hundreds of DLLs in their products.

Autodesk adopted AQtime Pro for its comprehensive timing and call‑stack analysis, easy configuration, strong reporting and ability to profile large applications without running them inside the profiler. AQtime let engineers pinpoint bottlenecks from the first run using detailed timing and hit counts, generate shareable reports, get accurate results in minutes, and accelerate code optimizations while enabling broader team use.
