Abstract
Method and system are disclosed for bi-directional probing of software. The bi-directional probe is capable of transferring data to and from a software under test. This two-way transfer of data allows the variables and arguments in the software to not only be monitored, but also changed as needed. Test vectors may be developed and inserted into the software while running for testing purposes. Regression analysis may be made easier by using data from previous iterations as input for the next iterations.
