LiveRecorder

Record and replay the execution of your software

Debugging intermittent failures - whether in development, test or in production - takes time. It slows down development projects and frustrates customers...

What if you could record your program's execution as it fails and replay the recording offline any time anywhere?

Capture software failures ‘in the act’

Replay the recording and get instant visibility into what your program did and why

Debug the recording instead of the live program

Record functionality

Record programming errors

LiveRecorder captures all non-deterministic data (down to instruction level) and recreates your application’s entire memory and the register state - on demand and with minimal overhead.

The recording represents a reproducible test case.

LiveRecorder's core recording technology is language independent and compatible with most mainstream Linux distributions.

Replay functionality

Debug the recording

Once you have the recording file capturing a defect, you can view the recording to analyze execution history using LiveRecorder's replay engine (reversible debugger functionality powered by UndoDB). Discover what your software really did and why.

Key features

LiveRecorder features

LiveRecorder provides a powerful Record and Replay software failures system that enables the acceleration of software defect detection and resolution.

Faster than you think

Without specialized technology, recording large systems would be slow and unusable. With LiveRecorder, expect to see 2x - 5x slowdown on most programs. You only need to record the failed processes (not all of them) - and you only need to record once to get all the data you need to analyze later.

Reversible Debugger

Play recordings forwards and backwards to analyze internal state. Breakpoints, bookmarks, notifications make it easy.

Multi-Process Correlation

Reveals the order in which processes and threads alter data structures in shared memory.

Thread Fuzzing

Randomizes thread execution to reveal race conditions and other multi-threading defects.

Integration & Control

APIs, CLI, front-end & container platform integrations help you automate and enrich QA & CI processes.

Compiler- and library-agnostic

We don’t require the application to be recompiled or linked against particular libraries.

Log Jump

A powerful method for developers to jump from a log line of interest to the corresponding point in time in a LiveRecorder recording.

Post Failure Logging

Feature that generates log files after a software failure occurs. The log files can be debugged, remotely, without the recording file ever leaving the end-customer’s secure environment or IP/ IIP sensitive data being exposed.

Competitor comparison

LiveRecorder vs traditional debugging

LiveRecorder is the only solution that gives you data-driven insight into what your software really did before it failed. By recording a failed process down to instruction level, you get a 100% reproducible test case. LiveRecorder can also capture intermittent, non-deterministic failures which cannot be tracked down in any other way.

Capabilities

LiveRecorder

Logging, dumps, printf

Static & dynamic analysis

Reproduce every failure with 100% certainty (including intermittent & non-deterministic)
