Introduction:

We are thrilled to announce our latest feature: Network Logs – redefining how engineers understand and optimize the performance of mobile applications. With Network Logs, we're empowering developers and QA engineers with unparalleled visibility into network interactions, enabling them to pinpoint and resolve issues faster than ever before.

What is Network Logs?

Network Logs is a tool designed to provide comprehensive logs of network traffic from mobile devices to internet endpoints. Built directly into the Mobot Platform, Network Logs allow users to correlate network activity with other performance metrics, such as screenshots and device logs, helping to paint a full picture of device and app interactions to resolve issues and release faster.

Addressing Key Challenges:

Distinguishing between issues inherent to the application itself and those arising from network interactions can be a daunting challenge. Network Logs directly addresses these critical pain points faced by developers:

• Clarifying the Source of Issues: Developers often struggle to determine whether a problem lies within the app's code or is a result of external network interactions. Network Logs provides a clear distinction by tracking and displaying network traffic alongside app behavior, allowing for precise identification of the source of issues.
• Comprehensive Traffic Capture and Decryption: By owning the entire network path and the devices used for testing, Mobot is uniquely positioned to capture and decrypt all network traffic, including encrypted data exchanges. This complete control allows us to provide developers with an unobstructed view into all network interactions, shedding light on data that would otherwise remain hidden due to encryption.
• Secure Man-in-the-Middle Monitoring: Utilizing a man-in-the-middle (MitM) approach, Network Logs intercepts and logs all data transmitted between the app and the network securely. This method ensures that developers can view and analyze how their app interacts with servers in real-time while maintaining high standards of security and data protection.

These enhancements make Network Logs an essential tool for developers, providing them with the clarity needed to efficiently diagnose and resolve issues that could impact app performance and user satisfaction.

What are the Benefits of Network Logs?

Network Logs offers a multitude of benefits for developers and engineering teams, including:

• Enhanced Debugging: Quickly diagnose and resolve issues by examining detailed network conversations between mobile apps and servers. This visibility is crucial for understanding the root causes of many performance issues and bugs.
• Optimized Performance: Identify and resolve network bottlenecks to enhance app performance and user experience. Adjustments based on real-time data can lead to significant improvements in app responsiveness.
• Streamlined Collaboration: Facilitate better collaboration among team members by providing a clear, comprehensive view of network interactions within the testing environment. This shared understanding helps synchronize efforts and reduce miscommunications.

Further Advantages for Our Customers:

Network Logs also enables our customers to:

• Resolve Issues Faster: With precise information on network activity, pinpointing the root cause of issues becomes quicker and more efficient, reducing downtime and accelerating development cycles.
• Improve User Experience: Gaining deep insights into network performance helps developers optimize app functionality, leading to smoother user experiences and increased user satisfaction.
• Enhance Productivity: Streamline the debugging process and empower engineering teams to focus their efforts on delivering high-quality, reliable mobile applications.
