When significant latency exists between a test device executing an application and a remote device used to debug the application, an intermediate device is used to receive requests from the remote device. When a first request is received, the intermediate device determines other requests that are related to the first request, sequentially sends the other requests to the test device, and receives a response after each request, using a wired connection or a wireless network having lower latency than wireless communication between the remote device and the test device. The intermediate device then sends each of the responses to the remote device. The remote device stores the responses. The remote device is then able to use the stored data to determine responses for subsequent requests.

Systems for exchanging data using intermediate devices

Application debug protocols that require waiting for responses between each request may be adversely affected if significant latency exists between a test device executing an application and a remote device used to debug the application. To address this, the test device is connected to a separate device that receives requests from the remote device. When a first request is received, the separate device determines other requests that are related to the first request, sequentially sends the other requests to the test device, and receives a response after each request, using a wired connection affected by less latency than communication with the remote device. The separate device then sends each of the requests and responses to the remote device for storage. When the remote device prepares to send a subsequent request, if a response can be determined using the stored data, the stored data is used to determine the response locally.
