A lightweight and interactive back-in-time debugger for Squeak to trace and retrace past method invocations and state changes. Powered by SimulationStudio.
[ ] analogously to #testTraceSimple, add acceptance test for recorded states somewhere?
[ ] test #isContextAlive:
[ ] test stepToHome: with foreign contexts (see examples in stepToHome:)
[ ] test stepThrough: from sender
Kernel tests
[ ] These tests currently do not include the building of a trace (only side-effects are traced).
We should discuss whether this reveals a bad design of the tracing simulator (the tracing simulator is not responsible for building the trace; the cursor/trace does that) or whether we should talk to the cursor directly in some of the kernel tests.
[ ] Smart smoke assumptions for kernel tests: For instance, reevaluate each test twice and compare the second execution to the trace of the first one. Reevaluation #24 would give us further possibilities here.
[ ] Compare trace with normal execution? This would not work for details of SimulationContext.
UI
[ ] test spawn & process termination
General concerns
[ ] Improve primitive tests in the simulated code (such as WriteBarrierTest)
[ ] Run all tests without useProxiesAlways (CI config?)
