Enabling and Supporting the Debugging of Field Failures

Abstract

Applications are often released with faults or missing functionality, and real-world examples of failures experienced by users are countless. This talk presents a novel approach that facilitates the debugging of these field-failures by capturing and replaying program executions.  The presented approach addresses two practical issues when collecting information from the field: collecting large amounts of data and privacy and security concerns.
