20130132780 | Method for Automatically Detecting and Excluding a Tracing Instruction from Further Trace Data Generation for a Software System, a Computer System, and a Computer Program Product - The invention relates to a method, a computer system, and a computer program product for automatically detecting and excluding a tracing instruction from further trace data generation for a software system on a computer system, wherein the method comprising steps of: providing a binary code of a software system, wherein the binary code comprises a plurality of tracing instructions, each of the tracing instructions configured to initiate trace data generation during runtime of the binary code, generating trace data by running the binary code during runtime, performing an analysis of a present trace data set, deriving a characterizing parameter from the analysis, the characterizing parameter assigned to a tracing instruction out of the plurality of tracing instructions, comparing the characterizing parameter against a threshold criterion also assigned to the tracing instruction, and if the characterizing parameter fulfils the threshold criterion, excluding the tracing instruction from further trace data generation. | 05-23-2013 |
