Project Releases

The Releases view in the Backtrace Web Console lets you monitor and compare the stability, user adoption, and overall health of your application's releases. It's built for team leads, project managers, and developers who need a quick read on how each version is performing.

Use the Releases view to:

  • Monitor a launch. Watch an important release as it rolls out, and quickly identify and prioritize the issues with the most impact.
  • Compare past releases. Look back at release stability over time to learn from earlier launches and improve your release process.
  • Understand your application across versions. See the state of every release you care about on a single page.

Open the Releases View​

Step 1: In the Backtrace Web Console, select your project and go to the Overview tab.

Each chart and the table use the same color for a given release, so you can follow one version across the whole page.
