ReplayDIRECTOR™ is a revolutionary software debugging tool that functions like a DVR for Java applications by recording all inputs and events affecting your software while it is running, and providing the ability to replay exactly what happened. Defects - even the most difficult to reproduce bugs - can be reproduced immediately without the need to replicate the environment and conditions that the defect occurred in. With ReplayDIRECTOR, you can:

• Reproduce defects without the original environment
• Easily communicate application issues between teams
• Fix hard to find or intermittent defects

The first challenge when solving problems with enterprise applications is to reproduce the error. This is the basic starting point of any software debugging process – programmers need to reproduce problems to fix their code, testers must verify defect reports before sending them to development, support teams need to understand the specific details of a problem when responding to user issues. ReplayDIRECTOR records Java applications in QA, staging and product environments, then provides the ability to replay the actual application code in a virtual environment – eliminating the need to set up complex environments to reproduce an error.

With enterprise applications, the person who finds a defect is often not the person who will fix it. Whether dealing with an outsourcing partner, working in a team that involves QA, development and operations, or collaborating with colleagues in different time-zones, communicating the details of an error is a tedious and error-prone process. When teams are physically or organizationally distributed, it can take a lot of back-and-forth to get all the information needed to reproduce a defect.

With ReplayDIRECTOR, lightweight and portable recordings that immediately reproduce both the steps to create the issue and the environment it occurred in can be easily shared via email, defect tracking, test management or help desk systems already in place. ReplayDIRECTOR eliminates the inefficient and error-prone process of carefully documenting issues, setting up test environments and painstakingly walking through the steps to reproduce a problem. This translates into quick and immediate root cause analysis and to significantly compressed MTTR.

Every developer, QA engineer and customer support representative has had to cope with one of those bugs that just couldn’t be fixed. Whether occurring only during times of peak load, on the desktop of a specific user or unpredictably with no pattern at all – these are the issues that frustrate the best development teams, costing time and money.

With ReplayDIRECTOR, even the most hard-to-find defects can be immediately reproduced. Executing the actual source code in a virtual environment while using your favorite Java debugger, application profiler, or other tool, ReplayDIRECTOR will clearly identify the root cause of even the most difficult to reproduce problems and will significantly shorten time to repair, resulting in better software, better service, and reduced costs.
