Abstract:
Automatic detection of software program regression points enables developers to more quickly and accurately diagnose and solve issues in changes to software. Traces of instructions are collected from before and after a change to a program or settings thereto on a computing device and are compared to identify differences between the two traces. Areas of differences are ranked and returned to identify the point(s) of regression in the traces to alert a user of programs of behaviors to avoid and/or a developer a point to focus efforts on to patch the responsible program or update other programs around the responsible application.
