COMPLIANCE MONITOR FOR OPERATIONAL SOFTWARE SYSTEMS

Abstract:

In an approach to monitoring production software to detect design deviations, one or more actionable elements of a software design are received, where the one or more actionable elements are one or more allowable actions of the software design. One or more actions performed by one or more instances of an instrumented software application are monitored, where the one or more instances of an instrumented software application are based on the software design. The one or more actions are compared to the one or more actionable elements. A non-compliant behavior is detected, where the non-compliant behavior is a sequence of the one or more actions performed by any instance of the one or more instances of the instrumented software application that deviates from the one or more actionable elements.
