ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for observing the execution of an application program (APP) loaded into an information processing system, characterized in that by means of pickups (32), nonperturbing recording is performed, at predetermined points of the system, of instantaneous information units relating to the program being executed and/or its information processing operating context; optionally, the information units are memorized in accordance with a grid pre-established in a status table (TE) incorporated in an observation memory (MO); and access to the status table (TE) is authorized, particularly in the reading mode, for programs (SER) outside the observed program being executed.
