Summary

Mobile apps have become integral to daily life, setting high expectations for speed, convenience, and personalization, but app crashes can disrupt user experience and business retention. Dynatrace Real User Monitoring offers comprehensive insights into user journeys and crash reporting, utilizing Dynatrace OneAgent for Mobile to capture and analyze crashes by sending stack traces for evaluation. The updated crash analysis workflow in Dynatrace 1.191 enhances the ability to identify crash impacts, affected user groups, and root causes, even in complex client/server setups, using PurePath technology for full visibility from user actions to server-side issues. The platform enables proactive anomaly detection and crash analysis through a dedicated dashboard, grouping crashes by stack trace similarity and occurrence, and provides detailed views of crash impacts across app versions, OS versions, and devices. Additionally, symbol files can be uploaded for faster analysis, ensuring clear method names in stack traces. Upcoming improvements aim to further enhance crash analysis efficiency and user behavior insights, with Dynatrace inviting feedback from its community for continuous enhancement.
