Introduction

About LogDigger

LogDigger is a set of tools for web application developers and testers. It simplifies issue reporting (both defects and feedback in general), and improves the quality of the information in reports, resulting in more efficient development and bug fixing.

The LogDigger ecosystem consists of the following elements:

• The LogDigger Server is the heart or the system. It collects information and provides an overview of application usage sessions, integrating with your choice of external issue tracker.
• Web browser extensions (also called LogDigger Clients). These track the usage of the web app, and automatically upload the collected data to the LogDigger Server.
• Optional web application components (LogDigger Connectors) can be used to collect additional runtime information on the server side, such as request-related application logs, statistics, etc.
