General trace and log analysis patterns allow the application of uniform diagnostics and anomaly detection across diverse software environments. It includes troubleshooting, debugging, describing, and explaining problems and incidents on various operating systems and platforms. It is also helpful in recording network traces, malware, general data, narratives, and text and image analysis (space-like narratology). This course, organized as a pattern language dictionary and cross-referenced with classification, explains and teaches more than 200 traces and log analysis patterns.

A Guide to Learning Software Trace and Log Analysis Patterns

## Trace acceleration
Sometimes we have a sequence of [activity regions](https://www.educative.io/courses/guide-learning-software-trace-log-analysis-patterns/region-theatre-adjoint-thread-blackout-braid-group) with increasing values of [statement current](https://www.educative.io/courses/guide-learning-software-trace-log-analysis-patterns/quotient-singleton-sorted-density-current) as depicted in the following figure:
