Ship faster
with fewer bugs

Trading software crashes or bad market data can wipe out your trading edge instantly.

Equally, flaky tests — often caused by multithreading issues in complex code — signal an unstable codebase that’s killing developer productivity and risks million-dollar bugs making it into production.

These issues are hard-to-reproduce, so they either go unfixed (posing hidden risks to production) or consume weeks of engineering effort, delaying releases.

ACCELERATE TIME TO MARKET WHILE ENSURING STABILITY AT SCALE

Challenges

Your team is likely to be working on a highly-complex legacy codebase with millions of lines of code and processing millions of pieces of financial data per second.

Tracking down hard-to-reproduce bugs in a system of this scale is a hell of an engineering challenge!

How is your engineering team supposed to ensure system robustness and stability in such a difficult environment?

Solution

Undo removes friction in the slowest parts of the dev cycle — diagnosis and debugging — so you can ship faster, with fewer bugs.

  • Ship stable software faster by integrating time travel debugging in your CI pipeline — enabling your team to resolve the hardest bugs in hours, not days, and hit your release deadlines.
  • Reduce technology risk by integrating thread fuzzing into your automated tests — making it easier to uncover hidden data races and catch critical defects before they reach users.

SOLUTION

TIME TRAVEL DEBUGGING

Time travel debugging gives software engineers full visibility into program execution – across subsystems, threads, and processes. Stepping backward through code to trace data flow has never been easier.

RECORD: Integrate time travel debugging into your CI  or automated tests to capture everything the code did during a failing run —  every line, thread, variable, and I/O — in a single file (a recording). Engineers get an instant portable reproducer (no need to waste time trying to recreate the bug).

REPLAY: Step forward and backward in the recording to get to any point in the execution history and see what happened and why. 

RESOLVE: Tracing from error to root cause in a single debug cycle (without wasting time on restarting or recompiling). No known bug remains unsolved.

This streamlined partially-automated workflow dramatically reduces time spent debugging quant libraries, low-latency trading systems, and real-time market data platforms — helping your team ship stable software faster and hit important release deadlines.

SOLUTION

THREAD FUZZING

Race conditions in multithreaded code are particularly difficult and time-consuming to identify. So they can easily slip into production.

Enable Undo’s thread fuzzing capability in your CI and expose these hidden race conditions in your codebase – so you can solve issues before they hit production.

Thread fuzzing offers a way of manipulating the way that threads are scheduled, making concurrency bugs statistically more common. Engineers can shake the CPU scheduler and see what falls out.

KEY BENEFITS

Reduce time to market and ensure stability at scale

IMPROVE CROSS-TEAM COLLABORATION
Complex algorithms often invoke code from other teams. So when Quant code crashes for example, Derivatives can now send a recording of the failing code back to the Quants for debugging.
ENSURE STABILITY AT SCALE
Nobody wants to ship buggy code. Errors in production can cost millions of dollars – in financial terms and reputation. By integrating Undo in your development workflow, you minimize the risks.
BOOST DEVELOPER PRODUCTIVITY
With Undo, engineers can now root cause bugs in hours, instead of days. Customers report that the technology is a huge time-saver and provides a significant productivity boost.
