Abstract

Technologies are described herein for performing a defect analysis on a software component based upon collected data that describes the operational state of hardware devices in an execution environment utilized to execute the software component at different points in time. The hardware state data is collected from the hardware devices in the execution environment at different points in time and stored in a version control system. A defect analysis may then be performed for an issue identified in the software component utilizing the hardware state data stored in the version control system. Based upon the results of the defect analysis, one or more actions may be taken such as, but not limited to, rolling the hardware or software configuration of one or more of the hardware devices in the execution environment back to a previous point in time.
