AFAICT, the available XSLT profilers will at best tell you what
templates have been used, not what templates haven't been used.  The
ones that just report which templates have been used won't help you, for
example, to work out which parts of a xsl:choose haven't been exercised.

This is the essence of it.


oXygen's profiler will show you which parts of the code are "hot", but you want to know which are cool, or rather, cold. Still, you might try oXygen. (1-month free licenses are available. Caveat: though I use oXygen happily, I haven't used this feature lately.)

Then there's the difference between parts of your code that are never used on sample data, and parts that can never be used due to logical reasons such as that the nodes being matched are never selected.

Cheers,
Wendell
