Abstract

Cloud based software development platforms are continuously becoming more powerful and penetrate towards the daily routines of modern developers. This paper presents a debugging approach that can be used in cloud based service development platforms where developer is working on relatively small sized scripts to be hosted on multi-tenant cloud platforms. Presented remote debugging approach utilizes record/replay technique to re-execute and record the variable evaluations whenever an exception is thrown during the developed service’s run-time. Additionally, an alternative recording scheme is also proposed that involves only recording external data accesses. Memory and run-time overhead of proposed approaches show that remote debugging approach can be useful especially when the minimal recording scheme is applied.
