Abstract
An embodiment provides a level of assurance regarding correct operation of software. An embodiment creates baseline and real-time measurements of software and compares the measurements to determine whether the software is operating correctly. An application provider may include 'tracing elements' in target software application. While producing the application the trace elements are detected and provide trace events, which collectively provide a 'baseline trace' indicating proper application execution. The provider supplies the application and the baseline trace to a user. The user operates the application in real-time to produce a “real-time trace” based on the application still having trace elements that produce trace events (which collectively form the “real-time” trace). A comparator compares the baseline and real-time traces. If the traces are within a pre-determined range of each other the user has a level of assurance the software is operating correctly. Other embodiments are included herein.
