Abstract:
Methods, systems and computer program products for bypassing execution of a module in real-time is provided. Each listed target module is located and loaded into system memory. A link is established between each target module and the stubbing framework, which begins execution of an application that includes the plurality of target modules. In response to one of the plurality of target modules being called by the application, control is passed to the stubbing framework, which includes the passing to the stubbing framework original registers from the application and a register containing an entry point of the stubbing framework. Each listed target module is bypassed. A utility module can intercept the call to the target module and provide arguments and logic to simulate the execution of the target. The results are recorded.
