Abstract

A computer method for issuing an early warning includes determining, using change and test coverage and control flow and data flow analysis of a program, locations in the program at which to insert early warning (EW) code to monitor for an event. The program is instrumented with EW code which monitors for the event, by inserting EW code at the determined locations. Upon detecting the event, EW code performs an early action warning, or issues an early action. Issuance of an early warning action can be conditional upon execution of the program in a particular environment, such as a production environment or upon executing an untested block of code that has been recenly modified. EW code can be deactivated upon certain conditions.
