Which performance-related data should be captured in OutSystems applications?

Capturing user activity, performance metrics, and errors is crucial in OutSystems applications for several reasons. User activity provides insights into how users interact with the application, helping identify popular features and any usability issues. Performance metrics are vital for assessing how well the application is functioning, including load times and responsiveness, which directly affect user satisfaction. Tracking errors aids in debugging and improving the overall stability of the application, ensuring a smoother experience for the users.

This combination of data allows developers and teams to make informed decisions about optimizations and improvements, ultimately leading to a more efficient and user-friendly application. Monitoring only successful transactions does not provide a complete picture of application performance since it ignores user interactions that led to failures or bottlenecks. Design preferences and user demographics, while useful in other contexts, do not directly relate to performance related insights needed for enhancing the application’s efficiency.
