AUTOMATICALLY IDENTIFYING AND HIGHLIGHTING DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HISTORIC TRACES

摘要

This disclosure relates to identifying and presenting differences between a plurality of recorded executions of an executable entity. One or more models are created over the plurality of recorded prior executions of at least a portion of an executable entity. These models include at least one of (i) a control flow model, or (ii) a data model. An anomalous model data point is identified within these models, and a first location in at least one of the plurality of recorded executions that corresponds to the anomalous model data point is identified. A second location in the at least one of the plurality of recorded executions is also identified. This second location is casual to the anomalous model data point at the first location. The identity of the first and/or second locations in the least one of the plurality of recorded executions is presented.
