Pinpoint Root Cause Analysis.

Because Replay Recordings re-execute the original binaries to create a live debugging session, all the techniques that developers use to locate a problem are available: breakpoints, memory status, exceptions, etc. Because the code is re-executing it is also possible to increase the logging level beyond the originally generated logs for finer grained, more detailed debug information. The ability to recreate a defect with 100% precision means that non-reproducible bugs are a thing of the past.

Typical Use Case:

A major Independent Software Vendor utilizes Eclipse as their standard IDE. Developers will pull up a recording in Eclipse using the Replay Plug-in designed for that purpose and execute the code while seeing the corresponding source code statements, variable values, threads, stack traces, etc. necessary to diagnose a problem. Because Replay can generate “markers” during recording to pinpoint where issues occur, the developer can use them to directly navigate to the part of the code that exhibited a problem.
