Some recent news about StressPrinters tool designed according to Tool Façade DebugWare pattern:
“HP tests its print drivers with the StressPrinters tool provided by Citrix to simulate a user logon where multiple printers are autocreated concurrently.”

Befind every trace and its messages is source code:
Borrowing the acronym PLOT (Program Lines of Trace) we now try to discern basic source code patterns that give rise to simple message patterns in software traces. There are only a few distinct PLOTs and the ability to mentally map trace statements to source code is crucial to software trace reading and comprehension. More about that in subsequent parts. More complex message patterns (for example, specific message blocks or correlated messages) arise from supportable and maintainable realizations of architectural, design and implementation patterns and will be covered in another post series.
I was thinking about acronym SLOT (Source Lines of Trace) but decided to use PLOT because it metaphorically bijects into literary theory and narrative plots.
