Trace D’enfant, Path, Individuality, Translated, Ultrasimilar
Understand key software trace and log analysis patterns such as trace d’enfant, trace paths, individuality in logs, translated messages, and ultrasimilar messages. Learn how these patterns help in mapping message flows, identifying anomalies, and explaining software behaviors in complex environments.
We'll cover the following...
Trace d’enfant
Causal history messages (black circles) pass through activity regions, which can be marked as hollow circles.
We call this analysis pattern trace d’enfant from analogy with dessin and d’enfant in mathematics, a bipartite graph embedded in an oriented surface. Thus, in theory, traces d’enfants can be studied algebraically.
Trace path
Trace analysis gestures that result in CoTrace analysis also produce trace path between messages of interest.
Such trace paths can also be useful for ...
