Method and apparatus for testing an application running in a virtual machine

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform a method for testing an application running in a virtual machine, the method comprising:

• using a device to execute the application in the virtual machine;
• in response to executing the application, receiving a code-level log associated with the application from a code-level
• profiler and a system-level log fix the application from a system-level profiler, wherein the code-level profiler records interactions of the application with the virtual machine in the code-level log, and wherein the system-level profiler records, in the system-level log, interactions of the virtual machine with a native layer for the device;
• combining the code-level log and the system-level log to produce a profile of the application;
• and
• analyzing the profile to determine if a problem exists in the application by analyzing the interactions of application with the virtual machine and the interactions of the virtual machine with the native layer.

An apparatus configured for testing an application running in a virtual machine, comprising:

• a processor in a device;
• an execution mechanism in the processor configured to execute the application in the virtual machine;
• a receiving mechanism configured to, in response to the execution mechanism executing the application, receive a code-level log associated with the application from a code-level profiler
• and a system-level log for the application from a system profiler, wherein the code-level profiler records interactions of the application with the virtual machine in the code-level log, and wherein the system-level profiler records, in the system-level log, interactions of the virtual machine with a native layer for the device;
• a combining mechanism configured to combine the code-level log and the system-level log to produce a profile of the application;
• and
• an analysis mechanism configured to analyze the profile to determine if a problem exists in the application by analyzing the interactions of the application with the virtual machine and the interactions of the virtual machine with the native layer.
