Debugging Software

The networking folks do amazing things when they have the information they need to diagnose issues and make decisions. They use Deep Packet Inspection to inform everything from bandwidth management, equipment outages and security because DPI gives them the absolute ground truth about their network’s behavior.

We’ve just introduced ReplayDIRECTOR 3.5 and while dot releases are not typically something to shout about, this release represents the front edge of our “Deep Application Inspection” initiative that will deliver the same kind of ground truth for application execution that Deep Packet Inspection provides for the network.

RD 3.5 takes our log viewing and amplification capabilities available in the Eclipse IDE and exposes the details in our standard web UI along with information highlighting defect markers, transactions, users and even client screen shots. In upcoming releases we will be adding a wide variety of deep execution detail to the log view and exposing that data not only in our web UI, but in IDE’s and dashboards of complementary diagnostic and profiling products that provide management information across the software development lifecycle.

Because we see and replicate every method call, exception, db call, variable value, code sequence, etc. there is no more precise and comprehensive record of program execution. Deep Application Inspection is the engine for the diagnostic train and everyone from Dev to QA to Security to Operations can get on board to advance their mission of producing and maintaining high-quality, reliable business solutions.
