Abstract
Techniques for gathering platform information are described. The platform information describes the environment in which a program executes. The platform information includes software component information and system configuration information uniquely identifying a particular instance of an environment. This information is stored collectively in the database over a period of time. This data is then analyzed and available for performing queries for example such as regarding test coverage and may be used to reproduce software faults.
