Gemini

Using Loupe with Gemini

Loupe works with Gemini to provide an elegant, streamlined workflow for finding and fixing bugs in your applications. Every error can be automatically reported and intelligently processed. Gemini cases opened only for application versions you care about and each case is assigned the appropriate project, version and component to match your Gemini-based workflow.

Closed-Loop Software Development

Closed loop software development means having a complete cycle from inception, design, development, deployment and in-the-field management with continuous feedback. Without automated fault logging, you have not closed the loop in terms of building and managing deployed software.

Gemini is a flexible and powerful tool that enables a software team to collaborate effectively and make sound decisions. Loupe provides a reliable feedback loop ensuring that execution errors have visibility and can be appropriately prioritized and scheduled along with other development activities.

Loupe goes far beyond basic error reporting of exceptions and stack traces to provide a complete infrastructure for creating and maintaining a customer experience improvement program.

Loupe provides...

Detailed contextual information leading up to each error

  • Configuration (memory, processor, locale, timezone)
  • Version (O/S, .Net framework, application, assemblies)
  • Metrics (perf counters, feature usage, method execution profiling)
  • Events (trace, console, plus integration with various popular logging frameworks)

Configurable processing rules can be changed without redeploying your application

  • Treat errors from production releases differently from developer builds
  • Change the processing rules for old versions once a new release is published
  • Assign errors from different applications to different people

Intelligent handling of multiple error occurrences

  • Lots of details included in the case summary when a new error is first detected
  • Doesn’t clutter the case with redundant details on subsequent occurrences
  • Links each error to all the sessions in which that error occurred
  • Once an error is marked resolved, additional occurrences are ignored for that build
  • If a “fixed” error shows up again in a later build, the case is reactivated

Easy and Affordable

No changes are required to Gemini, not even installing a plug-in. And Loupe can be easily integrated with your applications through code, XML or even a configuration wizard.
