Possible uses for iTech Logging include:
- application testing and debugging in real-time (including multithreaded applications)
- multi-language, 'single-log' monitoring of code, objects, references, etc
- automated documentation of program execution and data flow
- continually monitoring the communication with internal and external subsystems, components and devices
- troubleshooting during initial operation and later (also remotely)
- claim management: proving correct operation as well as incorrect use
- help desk support: iTech Logging is compiled with your application and can continually monitor and log application errors. (The problem with user error reports is that you can never get them to recur in your test environment. iTech Logging can be configured to log a host of information, allowing you to determine exactly the system state and events that resulted in the error etc.)
- enhanced error and problem reporting
- detecting and catching sporadically occuring problems
- analyzing errors which are hard/expensive to reproduce
- debugging memory and resource leaks
- statistics and performance measurement
- HTML output: provide up-to-date application information on web pages

Benefits
iTech Logging supports virtually all typical processes related to software development - coding, testing, integration (internal and external), initial operation, support and maintenance - with its features for application specific protocolling, program monitoring and execution analysis.
Benefits for your developer team:
Efficient usage of your developer capacities:
- Through simple and comfortable protocolling of the internal states and of the input/output behavior of your application on any abstraction level and without side effects its execution.
- Through versatile and quick program monitoring and execution analysis using ITLogBook, based on the logging information generated by your applications. ITLogBook contains powerful and ease-to-use filter mechanisms for logfile analysis, which work almost instantly and can be used even for live monitoring.
- Through the configurability of the output behavior of ITLogLib. The logging behavior can be changed using ITConfigManager. No source code modifications are needed.
Support during integration phases:
- Integrations within the team and with other teams including third-party subsystems and components.
- By permanent documentation of the data flow at the different interfaces of the subsystems, components and programs to integrate.
Benefits in cooperation with your development partners:
Error and problem detection:
- By permanently monitoring of the interfaces from and to third-party subsystems and components.
- By automatic documentation of errors including their execution contexts.
Claim management support:
- Through clear proof of incorrect or missing functionalities.
Benefits in cooperation with your customers:
Increased quality:
- Through automated documentation of program execution.
Customer confidence:
- Through quick and exact analysis of problem situations after delivery of the software system.
Error and problem detection:
- Through remote monitoring the delivered software system.
Claim management support:
- Through efficient proof that all customer requirements were implemented correctly.
- Through early recognition of inconsistent or incomplete customer requirements.
- Through easy proof of incorrect usage of your software by the customer.
