Module database with tracing options

摘要

A database of module performance may be generated by adding tracing components to applications, as well as by adding tracing components to modules themselves. Modules may be reusable code that may be made available for reuse across multiple applications. When tracing is performed on an application level, the data collected from each module may be summarized in module-specific databases. The module-specific databases may be public databases that may assist application developers in selecting modules for various tasks. The module-specific databases may include usage and performance data, as well as stability and robustness metrics, error logs, and analyzes of similar modules. The database may be accessed through links in module description pages and repositories, as well as through a website or other repository.

1. A method performed by at least one computer processor, said method comprising:
receiving a first request for reusable module specific tracing data for a reusable module, said reusable module specific tracing data comprising use data and performance data for a plurality of reusable modules incorporated into a plurality of applications, said reusable module specific tracing data being stored in a reusable module specific tracing database, and said plurality of reusable modules comprising reusable code available in a repository; determining that said first request is not an authenticated request; returning a summary set of tracing data statistics for said reusable module for display in response to determining that said first request is not an authenticated request; receiving a second request for said reusable module specific tracing data for said reusable module; determining that said second request is an authenticated request; and returning a detailed set of tracing data statistics for said reusable module for display in response to determining that said second request is an authenticated request.
