And they do not need that because they want replay recorded patterns on changing versions of the program to do regression testing. I do not think it would be hard to extend your existing work to "do regression testing" > What I have in mind is to create a replay mechanism that focuses on a replay that is identical to the recording phase and therefore is great for debugging (in particular for bugs that are timing dependent as outlined in an earlier posting).
