Abstract
A method and system for identifying sets of instructions within a computer program, execution of which serve as an indicator for processing of a transaction by the computer program and that together comprise a witness set. The witness set may be employed to monitor execution of the computer program and detect processing of the transaction. Witness sets are constructed by iteratively filtering an initial set of instructions based on profile data collected during execution of the computer program.
