Backtrace

It’s been a wild day of announcements but if you haven’t heard: Backtrace is now a Sauce Labs Company! Whether you’re a partner, a potential customer, gaming studio, developing an app, or using Backtrace for your backend/server systems, Sauce Labs and Backtrace are committed to delivering on the same vision with the same quality of service and quality of product we’ve had since day 1.

The latest backtrace-unity release improves the detecting of and reporting upon hangs on mobile platforms. Why is this important? One of the toughest challenges game developers face is debugging hangs in their mobile games, sometimes referred to as ANR (Application Not Responding).

The backtrace-unity 3.2 release adds new capabilities to support iOS games. Mobile game programmers can now effortlessly capture native iOS crashes for the Unity engine or 3rd party plugins.

The backtrace-unity plugin helps game studios fix bugs and errors in their games faster than they could before. With the new backtrace-unity 3.1 release, studios can now collect and analyze those types of crashes to help you more quickly mitigate and resolve them.

Backtrace makes it easy IOS and Android developers to integrate crash handling into their apps, capture and monitor errors, prioritize issues to work on, and get everything they need to debug the problem in a single interface.

Backtrace includes a custom database that allows you to ask interesting questions of your data. Software engineers experience the benefit of this design with improved query performance, flexibility to group and analyze by any custom field, and use of advanced operators to query based on first-seen dates, regex or contains expressions, or exclusion criteria for errors under management.
