Intra-Correlation, Macrofunction, Motif, Motivic Trace
Explore how intra-correlation links functional activities with trace facts, understand macrofunctions as semantic units in trace messages, identify recurring motifs like client-server interactions, and grasp the concept of motivic trace for integrating trace streams to enhance software diagnostics.
We'll cover the following...
Intra-correlation
Sometimes we may see a functional activity and basic facts in a trace and want to find a correlation between the activity and facts in another part of the trace. If this intra-correlation fits into our problem description, we can present a plausible, and sometimes even the best, explanation of the problem. Here is an example of this, using the WindowHistory tracing tool.
When a third-party application was losing focus frequently, we suspected that the terminal services client process was responsible. On examination, however, we found that the following ...
