Abstract: An object code expansion program inserts new instructions and data between preexisting instructions and date of an object code file; offsets are modified to reflect new positions of the preexisting instructions and data. For each item of preexisting object code (instructions or data), the following steps are performed: making a new code block comprising any desired new instructions and the item, and storing it as new object code; tracking the location of the item and the new code block within the new object code; and tracking items that contain inter-item offsets. Then, each inter-item offset is updated using the new location of the item or new code block, as required. Finally, offsets in symbol tables and relocation structures are updated with the new location of the item.

Abstract: Systems and methods for remotely monitoring the execution of computer programs are provided. Monitoring instructions are added the computer program so that during execution of the program, data may be collected regarding the program execution. The collected data may be automatically sent to a remote system or site for analysis. The monitoring instructions create little or no performance impact on the client yet provide valuable information to the developer of the program. Additionally, the monitoring instructions may be changes during computer program development.

Finally, offsets in symbol tables and relocation structures are updated with the new location of the item. This expansion program is used to add instructions to object code files of a second program, to monitor substantially all of the memory accesses of the second program.

Abstract: An improved system and method for load testing software applications is provided. The user interface and/or application calls are captured to generate a script to emulate a user session. The script may include source language statements and, with or without editing, may be compiled into an executable script. Multiple scripts may be executed on a script driver to simulate multiple users to load test a system.
