In addition to existing pattern catalogues such as for trace analysis we introduce patterns of trace acquisition as general platform and product independent reusable solutions to commonly occurring tracing and logging problems applicable in specific contexts. Here's the current list applicable to both software and network tracing:

• Trace Placing Map
• Trace Timing Plan
• Use Case Coverage
• Supplemental System Tracing
• Supplemental Network Tracing
• Supplemental Memory Acquisition
• Full Capture Tracing
• Tuned Capture Tracing
• First Occurrence Tracing
• Differential Strategy Tracing

Software Diagnostics Services is updating its Accelerated Software Trace Analysis training with complete pattern descriptions, examples and pattern-oriented trace acquisition requirements, design and implementation labs. The initial list of trace acquisition patterns may be revised and extended if necessary.
