Determination of Production vs. Development Uses from Tracer Data

摘要

Production or development uses of an application may be identified from tracing data when the data fits a heuristic. The heuristic may include length of execution nm, number of executions, repeating patterns within the execution nm, or other factors. Similarly, prototyping or development uses of an application may be identified by frequent code changes, sporadic uses, low loads, and other factors. The production and development uses of an application may be displayed by a uses versus user graph, where production users may be displayed as those users with the largest number of uses. The tracing data may be gathered by monitoring an entire application or from monitoring functions, modules, subroutines, libraries, interfaces, services, or other portions of an application.

1. A system comprising:
at least one computer processor; an interface that receives trace data collected from a plurality of executing applications; a classification engine executing on said at least one computer processor, said classification engine that:
analyzes a first time series of said trace data and determines that said first time series is a production usage of a first executing application and classifies said first time series as a production usage;analyzes a second time series of said trace data and determines that said second time series is a development usage of said first executing application, and classifies said second time series as a development usage.
