> Hi all,

Hi,

> I am currently investigating the possibility to use execution replay for
> Qt based applications. The basic idea is to record all QEvents (key
> pressed, mouse events, redraw, ...) during the lifetime of an application
> (and all data read from files). By feeding these events/data back to the
> application in a second run, the application should behave identically.
>
> I believe the feature could be very useful for debugging sporadic errors.
> Even a non-technically adept users can mail the recorded traces to the
> developer who can then replay the events that lead to the problem. There
> is simply is no better bug description than having the application show
> itself what went wrong. A second use of execution replay could be
> regression testing.
>
> The implementation should be fairly easy, either using event filters or
> reimplementing QApplication.notify().
>
> - Has anyone done work along these lines so far?
> - Any opinions?
> - Do you think this would be useful?
