The request will be kept in RFE system and might be reassessed or reopened for additional feedback or voting in the future. We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us the privilege of partnering with you in developing our products.

Please find below what portion of the enhancement request has been accepted by development:
We accept the requirement of providing frequency information (entry points, paths, line)
We don't accept the requirement to capture frequency/performance information at the same time as code coverage because the overhead of capturing code coverage data has the potential to invalidate the performance information.
Instead we plan to support merging the frequency/performance data and the code coverage data after it is generated to present a single view of the data.
** This does mean that the program would need to be run 2 times. Once to capture performance information and a second time to capture code coverage.
Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us. Your request is currently inline with our product strategy and we have planned it for a future release of the product. Thank you for your suggestion and continued support.
