Basic Recording Mode

In basic mode the debugger will record a history of function calls made by the program whenever it encounters an appropriate recording marker.

 

 

Track Instances of Named Classes

The EA debugger will additionally capture when instances of the classes you specify are created. It will then include that information in the history. The resulting sequence diagram may then show lifelines for each instance of that class, function calls being linked to the their lifeline where appropriate.

 

Track State Transitions

The recording can also capture changes in State using a specified State Machine Diagram. The State Machine diagram must exist as a child of a Class.

The Execution Analyzer captures instances of that Class and calculates the State of each instance whenever a function in the current recording sequence returns.
