Interview with Replay, Part 1: TiVo for Software Debugging

December 4, 2008

Replay Solutions has created a debugging tool that allows developers to record and replay any type of software execution, regardless of complexity, and effectively reproduce any issue that occurs.  In this interview, I had the opportunity to speak with the Co-Founder & CEO of Replay, Jonathan Lindo, who describes their product as “like TiVo for software.“  He describes how the Replay technology works, and also discusses their pricing, monetization strategy, and broad range of targeted sectors, which include gaming, on-demand applications, financial services, and ISVs. He also talks about his early career as a programmer, when he personally experienced the pain of debugging complex software and struggling to reproduce software issues; this ultimately was the inspiration behind the founding of Replay.
