Abstract
Described herein are technologies related to testing computer code for bugs, wherein the computer code is to run in kernel mode of an operating system. The computer code is executed in kernel mode of a first operating system, and content of memory that is mapped to kernel mode address space of the first operating system is transferred to user mode memory that is mapped to user mode address space of a second operating system. The computer code is executed in user mode and tested while being executed in user mode.
