THE PROBLEM

CI requires zero-tolerance of test failures

Continuous integration is the key to success for delivering at velocity. But realizing the full potential of CI requires a zero-tolerance approach to test failures: tests must turn green and failures represent new regressions.

Unfortunately, intermittent non-deterministic test failures, combined with running thousands of tests every hour, make this very challenging to handle. Traditional debugging methods rely heavily on guesswork and slow down engineering teams.

Software is regularly deployed with known and unknown defects: ticking time bombs hidden in production.

In fact, 91% of software developers admit to failing to resolve defects because they cannot reproduce them.  Reproducibility is the fundamental problem in software defect resolution.

THE SOLUTION

100% guaranteed reproducibility

When deployed in your automated test environment, LiveRecorder accelerates software defect resolution by eliminating the guesswork in failure diagnosis.

It provides full visibility and definitive data-driven insights into what your software actually did before it failed.

LiveRecorder resolves the technical challenge of reproducibility by recording the program’s execution as it fails. No need to waste days or weeks trying to recreate the problem. Engineers can go straight to analyzing the data in the recording artifact by replaying it forward and backward for a speedy diagnosis.

LiveRecorder is the leading time travel debugging platform available for C/C++ and Java applications.

What Customers are Saying

Our software is running on distributed servers and interacts asynchronously; so when bugs occur, they are hard to catch. We use LiveRecorder to radically accelerate the fixing of intermittent or hard-to-reproduce bugs.
