Abstract
Testing of a service is enabled through extraction of object data from an application interacting with the service. An application is executed on a physical or emulated host device, and assembly code is generated for the executing application. The assembly code is analyzed to identify objects associated with the application, and to identify relationships between the objects. Data stored in member variables of the objects is retrieved by setting analysis points at which to extract member variable data during execution of the application. Based on the object data, relationship data, and retrieved member variable data, transaction data is identified for a transaction between the application and the service. The transaction data may be provided to enable a test device to replay the transaction during load testing or other testing of the service.
