Finding what breaks.

WHAT ERROR TRACKING PROVIDES

Errors collected, grouped and counted, with context.

WHY THAT MATTERS

Users rarely report errors; they leave.

WHAT CONTEXT TO CAPTURE

The user and tenant What they were doing The request The version deployed

WHAT GROUPING PROVIDES

One entry per distinct problem, rather than thousands of identical reports.

WHAT TO PRIORITISE

Errors affecting many users Errors on the core path Errors involving money or data New errors after a deployment

WHY NEW ERRORS SPECIFICALLY

They are almost always caused by what you just shipped.

WHAT TO DO ABOUT ERRORS YOU WILL NOT FIX

Suppress them deliberately, with a reason recorded.

WHY

An error list nobody trusts is ignored entirely.

WHAT TO TREAT AS UNACCEPTABLE

Errors that occur constantly and are tolerated.

WHAT USERS SHOULD SEE

An explanation of what happened and what to do.

WHAT THEY SHOULD NOT SEE

Internal detail, which is both confusing and a security risk.

WHAT TO PROVIDE SUPPORT

A reference identifier the user can quote.

WHY

It connects their report to the exact occurrence.

WHAT TO REVIEW WEEKLY

The most frequent errors.
