Race Catcher™ is a Dynamic Code Analyzer that automatically diagnoses race conditions and deadlocks in JAVA BYTECODE during its execution. The diagnosis results are 0%-false-positives.

In addition, this product explains your application using original views and graphs uniquely defining processes algorithms. Race Catcher™ uses the graphical user interface of Software Understanding Machine® (SUM) from Thinking Software, Inc.

The Sophisticated Dynamic Code Analysis of Race Catcher provides huge advantages over Static Analysis of race conditions. As opposed to a big number of false-positives results coming from traditional static analyzers, the Race Catcher analysis includes ONLY the actually experienced race conditions. No false-positives results are therefore generated, saving many hours of otherwise unnecessary analysis.

Ideally, the Race Catcher enabled machine would be used all the time the application runs, since race conditions may be experienced in the future on a combination of specific input data coupled with specific states of threads involved. Running an application in a RaceCatcher-enabled environment on only a few specific sets of data will not be as sufficient. It is the production environment issues that are the costliest and most difficult, if not impossible, to reproduce with other tools.

Race Catcher Will Not Only catch those race conditions, but it will create a reproducible and replayable model of the code demonstrating and explaining those conditions. The same analysis is extended to the Deadlocks.
