Preface to the First Edition

The need for this reference book arose when we started working on the next version of “Accelerated Windows Software Trace Analysis” training1. The previous version was two years old, and Software Diagnostics Institute2 had already added 40 more trace and log analysis patterns to their catalog. All of them (almost 100 patterns in total) were scattered among 3,300 pages of various Memory Dump Analysis Anthology volumes (3 – 7, 8a), and a few found only in Software Diagnostics Library3. So we decided to reprint all these patterns and their illustrations in one small book and full color for easy reference. During editing, we also corrected various mistakes.
