Abstract
The min-repro finding technique described herein is designed to ease and speed-up the task of finding a min-repro, a minimum configuration that reproduces a problem in database-related products. Specifically, in one embodiment, the technique simplifies transformations in order to find one or more min-repros. One embodiment provides a high-level script language to automate some sub-tasks and to guide the search for a simpler the configuration that reproduces the problem. Yet another embodiment provides record-and-replay functionality, and provides an intuitive representation of results and the search space. These tools can save hours of time for both customers and testers to isolate the problem and can result in faster fixes and large cost savings to organizations.
