: Automatically detect browser specific issues from usage statistics Suppose you have a website that sells dog food (why not?) to people using a variety of browsers. Is there some way to automatically

One thing that I have done is implemented logging of client side JavaScript errors to the server. See: Logging Clientside JavaScript Errors on Server

This involves:


Putting in a JavaScript function to catch all error events
Firing off an AJAX call to the server in that function
Creating a server side script to capture that output and log it
Creating a report of that data to figure out what the common problems are


It does a decent job of detecting errors that happen frequently in browsers that may not be otherwise well tested. I've found the limits of it are:


If you have ads or other 3rd party JavaScript, you may get errors that are unrelated to your own code
It doesn't detect problems that do not trigger a JavaScript error. This will include infinite loops, early termination, and non-JavaScript problems.
