        abstract = {In the dynamic landscape of DevOps, reproducing complex user interactions from production logs remains a significant challenge, often leading to prolonged debugging cycles and undetected non-deterministic bugs in distributed systems. This paper introduces the Deterministic Log Test Replay Framework (DLTRF), a lightweight, appagnostic solution designed to capture, store, and deterministically replay structured HTTP events from web applications such as OWASP Juice Shop. The framework comprises two microservices: a Universal Logging Hook that intercepts Nginx access logs via Fluentd and forwards normalized JSON events to Redis Streams for durable, ordered storage; and a Replay Engine that reads these streams, sorts events by a monotonically increasing sequence number (the Memento T-relation) for strict causal ordering, re-executes HTTP requests with injected JWT tokens, and classifies response divergences using a config-driven rule engine backed by DeepDiff comparison. A Memento-pattern checkpoint mechanism snapshots and restores application database state using a pause-copy-unpause strategy that preserves in-process JWT signing secrets across restore cycles. Experimental results on 199–285 event sessions demonstrate up to 99.0% reproduction fidelity with under 30ms average response latency, with cache and WebSocket noise automatically classified and excluded from the fidelity metric. The framework integrates Grafana and Prometheus for real-time observability and generates a structured fourtier HTML report (Exact Match, Expected Noise, Investigate, Critical) for actionable developer feedback.},
