Publication number: 20140245268Abstract: In a general aspect, a tracer is configured to instrument an application by injecting at least one interrupt instruction at a function entry point in a memory image of the application such that executable code of the application is not modified. The tracer is configured to collect information relating to execution of the application when the inserted at least one interrupt instruction is triggered during runtime of the application including tracing at least one operating system function used by the application at the function entry point. The tracer is configured to create an application signature based on the collected information. The application signature provides information about at least one system object accessed by the at least one operating system function.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2014Publication date: August 28, 2014Applicant: IDENTIFY SOFTWARE LTD.

Patent number: 8762958Abstract: A software system is disclosed which facilitates the process of tracing the execution paths of a program, called a client or application. Trace data corresponding to selected system resources that interact with the execution of the application is collected during the tracing operation and stored in an application signature. A computer system user can generate trace options, trace the application, and compare the application signature to a known software configuration. The application signature is compared to a reference signature created by tracing the execution of the application on a system with the known software configuration. In another embodiment, the application signature is compared to a static configuration of a reference computer.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2008Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Identify Software, Ltd.Inventors: Valery Golender, Ido Ben Moshe, Shlomo Wygodny

Patent number: 8504994Abstract: A software system is disclosed that provides remote troubleshooting and tracing of the execution of computer programs. The software system includes an information-gathering module that gathers run-time information about program execution, program interaction with the operating system and the system resources, monitors user actions and captures screen output, and passes the gathered information to an information-display module, the gathered information allowing a support technician (e.g., a software developer, a help desk person, etc.) to see the user interactions with the program and corresponding reactions of the system, and/or to remotely view environment variables, file access operations, system interactions, and user interactions that occur on the user's computer and locate failed operations that cause execution problems.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2009Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Assignee: Identify Software, Ltd.Inventors: Valery Golender, Ido Ben Moshe, Shlomo Wygodny

Patent number: 8312435Abstract: A software system is disclosed which facilitates the process of tracing the execution paths of a program, called the client. The tracing is performed without requiring modifications to the executable or source code files of the client. Trace data collected during the tracing operation is collected according to instructions in a trace options file. At run time, the tracing library attaches to the memory image of the client. The tracing library is configured to monitor execution of the client and to collect trace data, based on selections in the trace options file. Conditional tracing, through the use of triggers and actions taken in response to the triggers, allows the developer to control the tracing operation. The triggers can be conditional triggers in which the corresponding action is taken only if a conditional expression is satisfied. The system can trace multiple threads and multiple processes. The tracing system provides a remote mode and an online mode.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2006Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: Identify Software Ltd.

Patent number: 8032866Abstract: Analysis of execution traces to identify execution problems is described. Analysis of the execution trace allows the user to detect application execution patterns. Each pattern represents a sequence of operations performed by the application. Some patterns correspond to normal execution of the application. Some patterns correspond to typical operations such as file opening, file saving, site browsing, mail sending. Diagnostic classes include patterns associated with certain malfunctions. In one embodiment, the system includes a learning mode wherein the system accumulates patterns belonging to different classes and stores them in a pattern database. In one embodiment, the system also includes a recognition mode where the system matches the trace against the pattern database and assigns trace regions to specific classes such as normal, abnormal, classes of specific problems or user activities, etc.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2004Date of Patent: October 4, 2011Assignee: Identify Software Ltd.Inventors: Valery Golender, Vladislav Gusev

Patent number: 7827539Abstract: A tracing system that provides automated tuning of execution tracing by adjusting the collection of trace data is described. In one embodiment, the user sets an initial tracing profile for a tracing program. In addition, the user sets an upper limit for the tracing performance penalty. The auto-tuning system monitors the performance penalty induced by tracing and, when the performance impact is excessive, removes trace points that are causing the most impact on performance. Auto tuning is especially useful for performing software recording in mission-critical and/or time-critical applications, such as servers, real-time applications, etc. The system typically adjusts relatively quickly such that most users do not feel the influence of the tracer.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2005Date of Patent: November 2, 2010Assignee: Identify Software Ltd.Inventors: Shlomo Wygodny, David Elkind, Moshe Kravchik

Publication number: 20100088683Abstract: A software system is disclosed that provides remote troubleshooting and tracing of the execution of computer programs. The software system allows a remote software developer or help desk person to troubleshoot computer environment and installation problems such as missing or corrupted environment variables, files, DLLs, registry entries, and the like. In one embodiment the software system includes an information-gathering module that gathers run-time information about program execution, program interaction with the operating system and the system resources. The information-gathering module also monitors user actions and captures screen output. The information-gathering module passes the gathered information to an information-display module. The information-display module allows a support technician (e.g., a software developer, a help desk person, etc.) to see the user interactions with the program and corresponding reactions of the system.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2009Publication date: April 8, 2010Applicant: Identify Software, Ltd.Inventors: Valery Golender, Ido Ben Moshe, Shlomo Wygodny
