PolytraceAid is a kind of Visual Studio Add-In. And following description is retrieved from from MSDN.

You can extend Visual Studio by using add-ins, VSPackages, and Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) extensions.

You can use add-ins in Visual Studio without installing the Visual Studio Software Development Kit (SDK).
