Selective profiling of applications

An application profiling system for selective profiling of an application, the application profiling system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor;
• the memory coupled to the processor, wherein the processor is capable of executing programmed instructions stored in the memory to:
• select one or more categories of functional blocks for a corresponding filter type in an application file;
• determine a relational hierarchical structure of the selected one or more categories functional blocks for the corresponding filter type, wherein the determination of the relational hierarchical structure is further based on parsing of an archive file associated with the application file, wherein and wherein the archive file being indicative of a structural hierarchy of functional blocks and associated metadata of the application file;
• obtain a selection of at least one functional block from among the functional blocks based on the relational hierarchical structure, the at least one functional block being associated with a functionality of the application;
• and
• profile the at least one functional block for achieving selective profiling of the application file for the functionality.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having embodied thereon a computer program for executing a method for selective profiling of an application, the method comprising:

• selecting one or more categories of functional blocks, for a corresponding filter type, in an application file;
• determining a relational hierarchical structure of the selected one or more categories of functional blocks for the corresponding filter type, wherein the determining is further based on an archive file of the application file, and wherein the determining comprises generating the relational hierarchical structure when the application is in an offline mode;
• and wherein the archive file being indicative of a structural hierarchy of functional blocks and associated metadata of the application file;
• selecting at least one functional block from the relational hierarchical structure for profiling, the at least one functional block being associated with a functionality of the application;
• and
• profiling the at least one functional block to achieve selective profiling of the application for the functionality.
