ReplayDIRECTOR™ is a software debugging tool that gives VCR, or TiVo™-like functionality to any software.

As you are running your software, ReplayDIRECTOR™ is transparently recording every line of code that is executed. This results in a perfect recording of your software. If you find a bug, you can simply press play to see it again.

ReplayDIRECTOR™ is recording your program, not the video or screen output. Every line of code that your program executes will be recorded, and will playback exactly the same.

When you playback a recording, your software is running. This means any bug that occurred during the recording will be reproduced perfectly when you playback.

ReplayDIRECTOR™ is a 'binary instrumentation tool'. When installed, it analyzes the compiled binaries of your application and identifies everything that must be recorded in order to create a perfect recording of your software.

Every potential source of non-determinism is captured and recorded for later playback. Although this is an intensive process, it takes under 10 seconds to complete.

ReplayDIRECTOR™ is a high-performance system that has almost no impact on performance. Replay is designed to be seamless and transparent. This means you can be recording all the time, even during production with software in-the-field with customers.

With 'always-on' recording, if you, or your customer ever finds a bug, you will never have to worry about reproducing it.

No, ReplayDIRECTOR™ acts on the compiled binaries only and does not require any source code changes. This means you can apply ReplayDIRECTOR™ to 3rd-party DLLs or libraries that you may not have source code for. For example, physics, audio or graphics engines.

ReplayDIRECTOR™ is extremely efficient and will typically record 1 megabyte of data per minute of play. Even client-server software will record data within this range.

With data this small, you can easily attach recordings to bug reports directly in your bug tracking database, or send them via email.

Yes! Recordings made of online software applications can be Replayed at anytime, even without a network connection.

This means you can record internet applications with many users, then playback that recording perfectly with all of the network data, timings, asynchronous network input and all other non-deterministic events occuring exactly as they were recorded.

Absolutely. When you playback a recording, the software will be running. You can playback recordings from the debugger, or attach  a debugger to a playback already in progress. All of your symbols will be valid in the debugger.

You can set breakpoints, single-step through code, and inspect data. Your software is running just as it did when you recorded it.

ReplayDIRECTOR™ is currently available on Windows XP, 2K, Vista and XBOX 360 platforms. 

At the moment, no. ReplayDIRECTOR™ will begin recording at the same point that the application is launched.

Currently, recordings must be played back from the beginning. However, we are actively working on a feature which will allow you to 'skip-ahead' to a later point during playback. No official announcements have been made regarding this feature, so please check back for the latest.

Yes, absolutely. As you may have noted, our downloadable demo will record and replay a handful of software titles.

If you would like to try ReplayDIRECTOR™ with your software, we do offer evaluation versions of ReplayDIRECTOR™ that will work with your software. In order to provide you with a 21-day evaluation, we require a build of your software with PDB symbols in order run several verifications to confirm that our platform support is capturing all of the required data for your title. No source code is required. Please get in touch with us to arrange your evaluation.
