  • Patent number: 10664385
    Abstract: Techniques for debugging of a collection of instructions executed by a computing system including a set of actors are described herein. A first sub-set of actors from the set of actors to be monitored for debugging and one or more error condition associated with the collection of instructions may be identified. A set of indications including indications of messages processed by the actors, indications of associated actor states prior to processing of the messages, and indications of associated actor states subsequent to processing of the messages may be received from the sub-set of actors. It may then be determined that a first actor of the sub-set of actors has satisfied the error condition. Based at least in part on the set of indications, one or more messages associated with satisfaction of the error condition may then be identified, for example for re-processing and debugging.
