Application failure resolution software now supports Java programming

Undo today announced the expansion of its flagship platform, LiveRecorder, to now include support for Java. By enabling programmers with a smarter, faster approach to application failure resolution, LiveRecorder for Java simplifies the process of debugging complex Java applications and provides an exact record of what caused the software to fail. As a result, this empowers teams to rapidly diagnose failures, accelerate Mean Time To Resolution (MTTR), boost developer productivity, and maintain a rapid release cadence.

The plugin extends the core functionality of IntelliJ IDEA to enable developers to record the execution of a failing process and reverse debug errors right from their code editor.

Additional benefits of LiveRecorder for Java include:

Recording a program’s execution down to the instruction level – capturing bugs in the act
- No time needs to be spent reproducing a bug.
- A recording provides a 100% reproducible test case of a software failure – ready for analysis & debugging.
- A recording is portable – share recordings easily with team members to accelerate MTTR.
A powerful integrated reversible debugger
- Replay recordings of your Java programs forwards and backward to easily find the root cause of defects.
- LiveRecorder plugs seamlessly into IntelliJ IDEA and developers’ workflow.
Making bug fixing predictable
- LiveRecorder offers a systematic repeatable debugging workflow -enabling the resolution of even the most challenging bugs.
- LiveRecorder can also capture intermittent failures that cannot be caught any other way.
Reducing the need for codebase knowledge (democratizing bug fixing)
- With LiveRecorder, developers without much experience with the codebase can understand and debug just as effectively as your most experienced core engineers.
