Abstract

Reproducing software defects plays a crucial role in the process of diagnosing and resolving bugs. While reproducing bugs, programmers may apply additional analysis tools to locate the point at which the program has gone astray. In a database management system for handling massive concurrent workloads from business application, developing a reproduction scenario may be challenging due to complex transactional dependency among workload executions. In this paper, for SAP HANA Quality assurance, we introduce a technique to extract a lightweight reproduction scenario which contains the relevant sequence of database operations for retriggering a target system failure. Our approach comprises two phases: (1) transforming a historical transactional information into a compact data structure, (2) extracting a reproduction scenario to isolate the symptom. We evaluate our technique against real functional bugs detected during the SAP HANA release validation and highlight its effectiveness for handling complex symptom analysis.

RSX: DBMS中业务应用工作负载的再现场景提取技术

再现软件缺陷在诊断和解决错误的过程中起着至关重要的作用。在重现错误时，程序员可能会应用额外的分析工具来定位程序出错的地方。在处理来自业务应用程序的大量并发工作负载的数据库管理系统中，由于工作负载执行之间复杂的事务依赖关系，开发再现场景可能具有挑战性。在本文中，对于SAP HANA质量保证，我们介绍了一种提取轻量级复制场景的技术，该场景包含用于重新触发目标系统故障的相关数据库操作序列。我们的方法包括两个阶段:(1)将历史事务信息转换为紧凑的数据结构;(2)提取再现场景以隔离症状。我们针对SAP HANA发布验证期间检测到的实际功能错误评估了我们的技术，并强调了其在处理复杂症状分析方面的有效性。
