Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for generating fingerprints for regression tests that identify code paths taken during execution of the regression tests. Breakpoint values are assigned to breakpoints encountered during execution of a regression test and a fingerprint is generated based on the assigned breakpoint values and a code path taken during execution of the regression test. Various breakpoint value assignment/fingerprint generation algorithms are described herein that generate a fingerprint from which a corresponding code path taken can be reconstructed including which breakpoints are encountered, the number of times each such breakpoint is encountered, and the order in which the breakpoints are encountered.
