Part III: Flows and Dependencies¶

In this part, we show how to follow where specific (faulty) values come from, and why they came to be.

Tracking Failure Origins shows how to instrument programs such that data flows as well as control flows and the associated dependencies are automatically tracked, allowing to easily find out where a value came from.
