“IntelliTrace, a new capability in Visual Studio 2010, enables the recording and playback of application execution to help facilitate debugging. This is accomplished by deploying the IntelliTrace diagnostic data adapter (DDA) to the target system as part of the Visual Studio Test Agent, or by deploying the IntelliTrace.exe command-line utility. IntelliTrace files created using either means can be opened and debugged using Visual Studio Ultimate.

IntelliTrace files may be shared among two or more companies as long as all users capturing and debugging IntelliTrace files are licensed with either Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate or Visual Studio Test Professional 2010, depending on the activities they are performing. …
