- Code coverage analysis
- Performance analysis
- Integrated reporting
- System comparison with SnapshotSDK
- Visual Studio integration
- Can be integrated into automated testing and nightly build processes through a command-line interface
- Helps native Visual C++ developers interface with managed .NET code by monitoring native application calls that cross the managed boundary into .NET code. It provides information on the frequency of crossed boundaries to help developers determine when native code should be migrated to .NET code. It also tracks errors in native code that can cause problems in managed code such as finalizer problems and unhandled exceptions thrown across boundaries.

- Directly analyze ASP.NET applications. It is possible to analyze web applications using their .aspx file, avoiding a complicated process to compile the ASP.NET code.
- Find your method by using the navigation bar, which allows you to drill from assembly down to method level
- List of unhandled exceptions and their stack traces to see the different situations in which these exceptions were thrown
- View the source of methods, to show which lines throw which exceptions
- Choose to display only documented exceptions
- Run Exception Hunter locally on a development PC
- Generate reports from Exception Hunter's UI (without needing to go through the command-line)

Visual Studio debug visualizer With property editing.
During debugging sessions, debug visualizers allow developers to view objects and data using a customized interface. Visual Studio ships with several visualizers.

Features include:
- view application UI elements in a TreeView control
- view all properties, dependency properties and attached properties and non-public fields of any element or sub-element in the UI tree
- allows unlimited drilling into objects and sub-objects
- breadcrumb type navigation when drilling into child objects
- when Mole finds an IEnumerable object, the data can be viewed in a DataGridView or in the properties grid
- handles collections that contain multiple types of data
- allows the developer to view non-public fields of all these same objects
- tested on WPF, WCF, WF, WinForms and ASP.NET projects on Vista, XP Pro, x32, x64, VS2005 and VS2008, C# and VB.NET

Tool for finding memory leaks and optimizing the memory usage in .NET programs.
.NET Memory Profiler allows you to retrieve information about all instance allocations performed on the garbage collected heap (GC heap) and all instances that reside on the GC heap. The retrieved information is presented in real-time, both numerically and graphically.
Features include:
- can collect snapshots of the heap, which can optionally allow the presentation of field values of instances. It is also possible to compare two snapshots, which is a way of detecting memory leaks in a program. A snapshot provides information about: all classes, all instances of classes, the call stacks of the instance allocations, the path to a root from each instance.
- a dispose tracker provides additional data about disposable instances. An API makes it possible to automatically detect memory leaks and control the profiler from within the profiled program.
- a heap utilization tracker gives you information about how the GC heap generations are used by allocated instances.
- the profiler also presents information about the native memory of the profiled process or any other process running on the computer.
- unmanaged resources tracker
- possibility to attach to a running .NET process
- automatic memory analysis
- 64-bit support
- integration with Visual Studio 2008, 2005 and 2003
