Debugging Software

Stacey Higginbotham last July included Replay Solutions in her list of Five Startups to Watch. In a recent article, she goes back to those five startups to see where they are now.

Stacey gives her new article the title “Intel, Microsoft Gorging on Multicore Programming Startups” and reports that three out of the five startups have been “snapped up” by Intel and Microsoft.

Intel’s goal is to offer tools to make its chips a better bargain for companies that want to use multicore chips without investing a lot of money in rewriting their code. Microsoft’s interest is in an overall improvement to its high-performance computing software for computing clusters and desktops, as well as of course promoting the use of Windows my making it easier to build great applications on their OS.

Needless to say, we agree with Stacey. While Replay’s debugging software is not limited to multicore environments, it allows programmers to replay exactly what happened in the moments before a software crash, or performance slowdown, or security breach. With this ability, they can immediately see what the problem is and fix it.

Replay’s recording technology is useful in any complex environment, including multicore environments, production datacenters, and cloud environments.

As software technology advances, the need to reproduce and identify issues in seconds has become critical. Replay Solutions’ innovative record and replay technology for software debugging helps customers quickly identify and address the root cause of software defects, security issues and performance problems.

This patent defines the technology powering our unique approach to rapidly resolving software issues that can negatively impact a business’ bottom line. We are proud that our patented DVR-inspired approach is delivering real innovation, enabling complex applications to run more safely, securely and with less downtime.

Please join us on Wednesday, October 7, 2009 from 11:00 AM – 11:45 AM PDT for a webinar on “Problem Resolution in Complex Web Apps, Including Spring & Hibernate Apps.”

Webinar will discuss recording and replaying errors in:
- Spring & Hibernate Framework Web Applications
- WebLogic, WebSphere and Tomcat Applications
- Eclipse J2EE Development Environments

There will be a demonstration showing how application errors can be identified, isolated and passed onto members of Virtual Development Team for rapid bug replay and reproduction.

ReplayDIRECTOR™ functions like a DVR for applications by recording all inputs and events affecting your software while it is running, and providing the ability to replay exactly what happened. Defects can be reproduced immediately without the need to replicate the environment and conditions that the defect occurred in.

Speaker: Jonathan Lindo is co-founder and CEO of Replay Solutions, and is passionate about improving the way software is built and delivered. His research has resulted in numerous patent filings for technologies including high performance networking, application virtualization, and the record/replay of computer programs.
