Google’s Open Source Airbag

Every technology user has experienced an application crash. Now Google’s open source Airbag project has come in. According to Google, Airbag is ready for client and server components, which implements a crash-reporting system.

Airbag is especially made up of client-side libraries, a server-side processor library and build tools. Mark Mentovai explains that the client-side libraries creates dumps and helps in sending them to a crash server.

The server-side process library then reads out the crash dumps and further transforms them into information, which is useful for debugging. The build tools are able to make sense of native debugging information, turning the data into a system, which is understandable by the processor.

Currently the Google’s Airbag project does not have formal release on Google Code Page. Developer could pull out Open Source Airbag components from the project’s Subversion source control code repository.
