This guide gets you quickly up-to-speed with our BLAST bytecode-level trace analysis framework.
BLAST requires Java 7 or higher. All the required libraries are already included in the source bundle.
BLAST is bundled as an Eclipse project. To build BLAST:
This Eclipse project includes a Java agent (agent-src), an analyzer (analyzer-src), and an example application (Demo).
The agent instruments the application when it's loaded, and the instrumentation calls into the Analyzer.
BLAST is not a stand-alone tool. BLAST is a Java agent that you use when running your application or unit test. It instruments your code, generates a detailed trace of its control and information flow, and runs a query that you implement in Java code using the BLAST API.
