Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The design and development of digital computer software for distributed concurrent programming environments has increased significantly in the past few years. The presence of remote processors and concurrency greatly complicates the creation, analysis, testing, and debugging of all software produced for these environments. It appears that few tools developed for sequential environments are adequate for debugging software programs in a distributed concurrent environment. The distributed concurrent environment also presents the need for special debugging tools that were not needed for sequential environments. This research will present a new model for debugging programs in a distributed concurrent programming environment. This new model was used to design, develop, and implement an integrated, cooperating set of concurrent debugging tools. The new debugging model and tool set were used in a distributed Concurrent C development environment running under the UNIX® operating system and connected by an Ethernet local area network. Actual results obtained from using the new debugging scheme and integrated debugging tool set to detect, locate, and correct software faults in distributed Concurrent C programs are also presented.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since most applications today are distributed in some fashion, monitoring their health and performance requires a new approach. Enter distributed tracing, a method of profiling and monitoring distributed applications—particularly those that use microservice architectures. There’s just one problem: distributed tracing can be hard. But it doesn’t have to be. With this guide, you’ll learn what distributed tracing is and how to use it to understand the performance and operation of your software. Key players at LightStep and other organizations walk you through instrumenting your code for tracing, collecting the data that your instrumentation produces, and turning it into useful operational insights. If you want to implement distributed tracing, this book tells you what you need to know. You’ll learn: The pieces of a distributed tracing deployment: instrumentation, data collection, and analysis Best practices for instrumentation: methods for generating trace data from your services How to deal with (or avoid) overhead using sampling and other techniques How to use distributed tracing to improve baseline performance and to mitigate regressions quickly Where distributed tracing is headed in the future

This book was released on 2010-06-17 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Debugging becomes more and more the bottleneck to chip design productivity, especially while developing modern complex integrated circuits and systems at the Electronic System Level (ESL). Today, debugging is still an unsystematic and lengthy process. Here, a simple reporting of a failure is not enough, anymore. Rather, it becomes more and more important not only to find many errors early during development but also to provide efficient methods for their isolation. In Debugging at the Electronic System Level the state-of-the-art of modeling and verification of ESL designs is reviewed. There, a particular focus is taken onto SystemC. Then, a reasoning hierarchy is introduced. The hierarchy combines well-known debugging techniques with whole new techniques to improve the verification efficiency at ESL. The proposed systematic debugging approach is supported amongst others by static code analysis, debug patterns, dynamic program slicing, design visualization, property generation, and automatic failure isolation. All techniques were empirically evaluated using real-world industrial designs. Summarized, the introduced approach enables a systematic search for errors in ESL designs. Here, the debugging techniques improve and accelerate error detection, observation, and isolation as well as design understanding.

Download or read book An Integrated Approach for Automated Software Debugging Via Machine Learning and Big Code Mining written by Xia Li and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decades, software systems have been widely adopted in almost all aspects of human lives, and are making our lives more and more convenient. However, software systems also inevitably suffer from different faults (a.k.a., bugs), which can incur great loss of properties and even lives. Due to the huge code volume, manual debugging can be always time-consuming and error-prone. This thesis is a novel integrated approach for automated debugging that can help localize and detect different software faults. Specifically, fault localization (FL) can help localize the potential faulty location(s) if some test cases fail in a program while API-misuse detection can help detect API related bugs due to API misuses without the execution of test cases. We seek to improve the effectiveness of fault localization and API misuses detection by applying knowledge from various fields such as static and dynamic program analysis, machine learning/deep learning techniques, as well as mining big code repositories. In this dissertation, we propose two fault localization techniques and one API-misuse detection technique. The first fault localization technique is called TraPT, which is a learning-to-rank-based technique to combine transformed impact information extracted from mutation-based fault localization (MBFL) and coverage information extracted from spectrum-based fault localization (SBFL). The second fault localization technique is called DeepFL which is the first deep-learning-based fault localization technique integrating various dynamic and static program features. The two fault localization techniques rely on high-quality test cases to capture necessary program features but not all software systems can provide such tests, making fault localization techniques not always available. To solve more comprehensive debugging problems, we also propose an API-misuse detection technique called BiD3 based on the analysis of a large-scale of bug-fixing commits (958,368 commits in total) in history, which doesn’t require the execution of test cases. Various experiments on the three techniques show the promising effectiveness. For example, DeepFL can localize 213 faults within Top-1 out of 395 real faults, 53 more faults than state-of-the-art technique (33.1% improvement). BiD3 can detect 360 real misuses in the latest Apache projects and 57 misuses have been confirmed and fixed by developers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "This thesis presents a simple, yet powerful, set of mechanisms for testing and debugging distributed applications consisting of modules that communicate through well-defined data interfaces. The tools allow default or programmer-defined functions to be attached to various communication events so that particular data values at interesting points in the program are made available for testing and debugging. The debugging status of each component of the communication interface can be controlled separately so that various debugging information can be turned on and off during program execution. By attaching breakpoints to programmer-defined functions in a standard debugger, fine-grained examination of each module of the application can be integrated with the coarse-grained communication debugging information provided by our tools."

Book excerpt: A total guide to debuggers: what they do, how they work, and how to use them to produce better programs "Debuggers are the magnifying glass, the microscope, the logic analyzer, the profiler, and the browser with which a program can be examined."-Jonathan B. Rosenberg Debuggers are an indispensable tool in the development process. In fact, during the course of the average software project, more hours are spent debugging software than in compiling code. Yet, not many programmers really know how to constructively interpret the results they get back from debuggers. And even fewer know what makes these complex suites of algorithms and data structures tick. Now in this extremely accessible guide, Jonathan B. Rosenberg demystifies debuggers for programmers and shows them how to make better use of debuggers in their next projects. Taking a hands-on, problem-solving approach to a complex subject, Rosenberg explains how debuggers work and why programmers use them. Most importantly, he provides practical discussions of debugger algorithms and procedures for their use, accompanied by many practical examples. The author also discusses a wide variety of systems applications, from Microsoft's Win32 debug API to a large parallel architecture. Visit our Web site at: http://www.wiley.com/compbooks/
