System and method for data collection and analysis of information relating to mobile applications

摘要

A system and method are provided for data collection and analysis of information related to applications. Specifically, the developer of the application may install analytic software, which may be embodied as a software development kit (SDK), on an integrated development environment (“IDE”) associated with the developer, wherein the analytic software may be installed with a wizard-like interface having a series of easy to follow instructions. Once installed, the application, with the analytic software incorporated therein, may be provided and installed on a plurality of end user devices. Thereafter, the analytic software may work in conjunction with analytic processing logic to assist the developer in obtaining pertinent information related to bugs associated with the application that is being executed on an end user device.

1. A method for analyzing information relating to mobile applications, comprising:
incurring, by an application installed on a device, a bug to produce crash data; storing, in a memory associated with the device, addresses of instruction pointers associated with the application; storing, by a module of the application, in the memory associated with the device, first information associated with the application launched and executed on the device at a first time; re-launching the application; storing, by the module of the application, in the memory associated with the device, second information associated with the application re-launched on the device at a second time; determining a relative slide between the launched and executed application and the re-launched and re-executed application; and performing analytic processing on the crash data utilizing the relative slide to convert the crash data into results, wherein the results identify information associated with the bug that occurred while the application was launched and executed on the device.
