Error Tracking Tools
Error tracking tools are software applications that monitor, capture, and report errors, exceptions, and crashes in applications in real-time. They provide developers with detailed insights into issues occurring in production environments, including stack traces, user context, and performance metrics. These tools help teams quickly identify, prioritize, and resolve bugs to improve application stability and user experience.
Developers should use error tracking tools when deploying applications to production to proactively detect and fix issues before they impact users. They are essential for web, mobile, and backend applications where real-time monitoring can reduce downtime and improve reliability. Specific use cases include tracking JavaScript errors in frontend apps, handling exceptions in server-side code, and monitoring crashes in mobile applications.
