Server throttled client debugging

1. A method comprising:

detecting a runtime error in a first version of a client application;

obtaining a second version of the same client application based on the one or more details of the runtime error, wherein a size of the second version is different than a size of the first version; and

using the second version of the same client application to conduct a diagnosis of the runtime error.

2. The method of claim 1 , further including transmitting debug information generated by using the second version of the same client application to conduct the diagnosis of the runtime error.

3. The method of claim 2 , further including:

receiving a third version of the same client application based on the debug information generated by using the second version of the same client application to conduct the diagnosis of the runtime error; and

using the third version of the same client application to conduct a further diagnosis of the runtime error.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein a size of the third version is different that the size of the first version and the size of the second version.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the size of the second version is greater than the size of the first version.

6. A computer program product comprising:

a computer readable storage medium; and

computer usable code stored on the computer readable storage medium, where, if executed by a processor, the computer usable code causes a computer to:

detect a runtime error in a first version of a client application;

obtain a second version of the same client application based on the one or more details of the runtime error, wherein a size of the second version is different than a size of the first version; and

use the second version of the same client application to conduct a diagnosis of the runtime error.

7. The computer program product of claim 6 , wherein the computer usable code, if executed, further causes a computer transmit debug information generated by using the second version of the same client application to conduct the diagnosis of the runtime error.

8. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein the computer usable code, if executed, further causes a computer to:

receive a third version of the same client application based on the debug information generated by using the second version of the same client application to conduct the diagnosis of the runtime error; and

use the third version of the same client application to conduct a further diagnosis of the runtime error.

9. The computer program product of claim 6 , wherein the size of the second version is greater than the size of the first version.

10. A method comprising:

receiving a server notification including one or more details of a runtime error associated with a first version of a client application;

selecting a second version of the same client application based on the one or more details of the runtime error, wherein a size of the second version is different than a size of the first version; and

transmitting the second version of the same client application to a client to be used to conduct a diagnosis of the runtime error.

11. The method of claim 10 , further including receiving debug information generated by using the second version of the same client application to conduct the diagnosis of the runtime error.

12. The method of claim 11 , further including:

selecting a third version of the same client application based on the debug information generated by using the second version of the same client application to conduct the diagnosis of the runtime error; and

transmitting the third version of the same client application to the client to be used to conduct a further diagnosis of the runtime error.

13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the size of the second version is greater than the size of the first version.

14. A computer program product comprising:

a computer readable storage medium; and

computer usable code stored on the computer readable storage medium, where, if executed by a processor, the computer usable code causes a computer to:

receive a server notification including one or more details of a runtime error associated with a first version of a client application;

select a second version of the same client application based on the one or more details of the runtime error, wherein a size of the second version is different than a size of the first version; and

transmit the second version of the same client application to a client to be used to conduct a diagnosis of the runtime error.

15. The computer program product of claim 14 , wherein the computer usable code, if executed, further causes a computer to receive debug information generated by using the second version of the same client application to conduct the diagnosis of the runtime error.

16. The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein the computer usable code, if executed, further causes a computer to:

select a third version of the same client application based on the debug information generated by using the second version of the same client application to conduct the diagnosis of the runtime error; and

transmit the third version of the same client application to the client to be used to conduct a further diagnosis of the runtime error.

17. The computer program product of claim 14 , wherein the size of the second version is greater than the size of the first version.
