Fix software defects faster and unblock your customers pipeline
Software quality is a key requirement in the EDA industry - both in terms of software reliability and correctness. Large semiconductor and telecommunication clients are especially demanding. Multi-billions of dollars are at stake if chips are delayed by defects in your EDA tooling.
Undo solution
Software crashes and inconsistent results from EDA tools bring real challenges for your engineers. Rigorous IP protection protocols and constrained access to the failing environment make it extremely difficult to diagnose issues.
Traditional debugging methodologies are speculative and time-consuming: logging and core dump analysis usually require slow compile/build/test cycles taking substantial effort from both your engineering team and your clients. Meanwhile clients are in a hurry to meet stringent manufacturing deadlines.
Unlike traditional approaches to software reliability, Undo’s LiveRecorder product enables engineers to record and replay the execution of a software program for later analysis, observing exactly what the program did at any point in time and why. No guesswork required. Best of all, LiveRecorder can capture intermittent, non-deterministic failures which cannot be caught in any other way.

Find out what our customers are saying about Undo
“With Undo LiveRecorder, we were able to dramatically cut down the analysis time that is required to understand the root cause of very complex software defects”
“Quality is a non-negotiable aspect of our software development. When we do encounter bugs we need to resolve them as quickly as possible. Recently, we had an intermittent issue and were unable to resolve it using traditional debugging techniques. We switched to an Undo session and were able to run in reverse to locate the root cause in a few hours. Undo enabled us to resolve this issue and quickly provide a fix for our customer.”
“The Undo Debugger has helped us efficiently diagnose numerous challenging issues that would have taken much more time to resolve with gdb or other debuggers that are forward-looking with little or no reversibility. Even if you use it for only 5-10 issues per year, the time saved can pay for the cost of the license."
