Abstract
A method of debugging software code in an information handling system (IHS) is disclosed. The method includes establishing communications between a debug computer and a target computer and triggering the target computer to collect and transmit a plurality of symptom and root cause (SARC) values associated with the software code. The SARC values are compared to SARC reference values associated with the software code. The method further includes determining if the SARC values meet the requirements of the SARC reference values. In response to the SARC values not meeting the requirements of the SARC reference values, at least one process associated with the SARC values that do not meet the requirements of the SARC reference values is identified. Process data corresponding to the at least one process is collected and a SARC diagnosis report is generated for the software code based on the process data.
