      • ProblemTechnology

      "Debugging software is hard and time-consuming. Traditional methods like printf, logging, core dump analysis, static analysis and dynamic analysis are limited in their scope and effectiveness. These methods can only look at specific instances of bugs and provide limited information. Software accountability is becoming increasingly important as software makes decisions that affect our lives and livelihoods. Currently, we are unable to know for sure what some software did as it ran."

      Solution

      "Undo offers a new approach to debugging called Live Recorder technology. It allows developers to record, rewind and replay software execution, providing a comprehensive view of what happened during a software failure. This helps developers diagnose and fix bugs faster and more efficiently. Undo's technology captures failure instances across the whole spectrum, filling in the gaps that other methods miss. This approach addresses the growing need for software makers to be able to articulate and account for what their programs are doing at any given moment."
