Let's Goal the "CRASH" with "HOCKEY"

Gone are the day’s when we use to take out crash out logs from Monitor.bat file from Android Devices using CatLog and syncing iTunes with the device to take out crash logs from iOS devices.

Now we have more sophisticated product/Application  that can help us in digging into any application crash that are happening in any environment be it Developer Environment, QA Environment, Staging Environment, UAT Environment and the most important one Yes, right the Production Environment.

Most of the tools mentioned are quite simple to implement we just need to integrate the SDK  of these Crash reporting tool in our Mobile application.

The products that I prefer or have used in my experience to take out log’s from mobile application are:

1.       Crashlytics (Fabric): Twitter acquired crashlytics. It is one of the most powerful tool to take out crashlogs for your application, With neat and clean UI once you get a crash it’s shoot a mail to the officially registered Email ID and then we can inspect the issue along with the device and test environment we got the crash on.

It has various other information like Total Crash Count, Crash Graph, Android Device Breakdown Charts, Android Operating System Charts, Free Space Etc.

2.       Hockey: HockeyApp which is owned by Microsoft is a web-based platform that manages its users’

betas and collects live crash reports for iOS, Android, and more apps.User Metrics, Application Distribution and Crash Reporting it does it all.  

There are many other tools that are quite popular for taking out crash logs from Android and iOS devices namely:
