High-volume distributed script error handling
Various embodiments include a method and system for high-volume distributed script error report handling. An error report group threshold may be obtained. The error report group threshold may be determined by available computing resources, at an error facility, to receive error reports. A subset of current user terminals with representative user terminal environments may be identified. The subset may have a cardinality less than the error report group threshold. Members of the subset may be notified to report errors for a distributed program.
1. A hardware circuit implemented method comprising:
obtaining an error report group threshold, the error report group threshold being determined by available computing resources, at an error facility, to receive error reports;
identifying a subset of current user terminals with representative user terminal environments, the subset having a cardinality less than the error report group threshold and the cardinality of the subset being greater than or equal to a value required for a statistical sample of current user terminals to meet a specified confidence level; and
notifying members of the subset to report errors for a distributed program.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein user terminal environments include a plurality of differentiating types of terminal configurations, and wherein the representative user terminal environments include the plurality of differentiating types in proportion to representation in the current user terminals.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of differentiating types are operating systems of the current user terminals.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of differentiating types are browsers.
5. The method of claim 1 comprising presenting received error reports to a service user via a real-time graphical plot of aggregated equivalent error reports.
6. A non-transitory machine readable medium including instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
obtaining an error report group threshold, the error report group threshold being determined by available computing resources, at an error facility, to receive error reports;
identifying a subset of current user terminals with representative user terminal environments, the subset having a cardinality less than the error report group threshold and the cardinality of the subset being greater than or equal to a value required for a statistical sample of current user terminals to meet a specified confidence level; and
notifying members of the subset to report errors for a distributed program.
7. The machine readable medium of claim 6 , wherein user terminal environments include a plurality of differentiating types of terminal configurations, and wherein the representative user terminal environments include the plurality of differentiating types in proportion to representation in the current user terminals.
