A software analysis system for capturing tags generated by tag statements in instrumented source code. The software analysis system includes a probe that monitors the address and data bus of the target system. When a tag statement is executed in the target system, a tag is written to a predetermined location in the address space of the target system. The tag contains a tag value that is indicative of the location in the source code of the tag statement generating the tag. By monitoring the predetermined address, the probe is able to capture tags as they are written on the data bus of the target system. By properly instrumenting the source code, the software analysis system is able to perform a variety of analysis functions in essentially real time, including code coverage, function and task execution times, memory allocation, call pairs, and program tracing.
