Methods and systems for application monitoring through collective record and replay are disclosed herein. The method includes recording a number of execution traces for an application from a number of user devices at a runtime library, wherein the number of execution traces relates to non-deterministic data. The method also includes replaying the number of execution traces to determine whether a behavior of the application creates a security risk.

Application monitoring through collective record and replay

A method, system, and computer-readable storage medium for application monitoring through continuous record and replay are described herein. The method includes continuously recording execution traces including external non-deterministic input data for an application at a user device and analyzing the recorded execution traces to identify relevant execution traces for determining a behavior of the application. The method also includes reporting the relevant execution traces to a server, wherein the server is configured to replay the relevant execution traces to determine whether the behavior of the application is as expected.
