I'm not sure when to use each of these (or whether to use any of them at all).
Profiling is for running your app with Instruments (for finding memory leaks, bottlenecks etc.). Testing is for running unit tests. Archiving is building a distributable package of you app (incl. Ad-hoc iPhone distributions and upload to the App Store).
