Estimating the term…
A software debugger is enabled and runs in the background for debugging a computer software program. The target criteria for one or more Key Performance Indicators of interest relating to the program performance are established before the program begins its execution. During execution, the debugger is activated and takes control of the program execution if a Key Performance Indicator meets its established criteria. The execution of the program is paused, and the program enters a debug mode during which an execution state of the program in system memory could be examined and modified. The debugger also provides functions for controlled execution like single-stepping, forwarding and rewinding. A user interface coupled to the debugger allows a user to interact with the debugger and control program execution.
A computer-implemented method for debugging a computer program, comprising:
A system for debugging a computer program, comprising:
A computer program product for debugging a program, the product having a computer readable storage comprising program code operable to establish a target value for a Key Performance Indicator related to the performance of the program, enable a debugger coupled to the program, and activate the debugger when the Key Performance Indicator reaches the target value during execution of the program.
