WebLogger

Abstract

Today there are millions upon millions of users on the internet constantly scouring over the countless amounts of websites that exist. Daily usage of the internet has become such a natural part of life that oftentimes, people do not really think about the amount of effort that goes into creating and maintaining web applications. It is a common occurrence for errors to occur on websites whether it is issues with user interface or certain functionalities not functioning properly. The error reporting on these mistakes often results in feedback with lacking details due to the users having a difficult time recollecting every step that caused the error. This has led to the development of the WebLogger project. The purpose of the project is to improve error reporting between a user and a developer in conjunction with troubleshooting and improving web applications. The WebLogger project has resulted in the development of a programming library as well as a web application. The WebLogger-library is capable of easily being integrated into other software with minimal changes that logs and saves user events on web applications. The user events are saved locally and can be sent to developers who utilize the WebLogger-application in order to recreate the user events.
