Tiivistelmä
This thesis introduces a postmortem software failure analysis system named MobileCrash. The system is to catch Symbian OS panics and exceptions, to collect related information and to transmit crash logs to a central database for analysis. The basics of software failure analysis and similar systems on other operation systems are presented in the thesis. After revealing the system design of the MobileCrash, the system event log as a supplementary of the MobileCrash is introduced. The thesis also introduces the core of crash analysis together with real case studies in Symbian OS. Software developers can benefit from this thesis by learning about software failure analysis on Symbian OS. Project managers can get basic information on software failure analysis from this thesis to better control projects based on Symbian OS.
