Abstract
An approach for facilitating the analysis of computer software errors generally involves logging status data in a volatile memory, such as a random access memory (RAM). The status data may indicate one or more attributes of a computing system or any of its components. The status data may be supplemented with additional status data to indicate attributes of the computing system and its components over time. In response to detecting a specified condition, the status data is written from the volatile memory to a non-volatile memory, for example, onto one or more disks. The status data stored on the non-volatile memory may then be used to analyze the behavior of the computer software over time leading up to the computer software error.
