Debugging Web Apps

    We have a web app that faces the world, and users being users always seem to find ways to break the code is some fashion or other that requires debugging. But before you can debug a problem, you have to be able to recreate the problem. This is hampered by the fact that the user can be any where.

    At one time I remember reading about a tool that would allow you to capture what users were doing (sort of a like the key stroke logs used on emulators for dumb tubes in days gone by).

    Anyone have some suggestions we could research and see about bringing into our shop?

    not sure if this is what you are after, but I often use fiddler to test web pages and see what data is being passed back and forth when a form submits:

    at least for me, my pages are usually in .NET, so I can see some of what goes on in visual studio as well.

    Thanks, Lowell. I have passed it on to one of our developers to research.
