Motivation for access Logs

The access logs act as a historic record for testing including:

  • Historic record of tests
  • Standard analysis tools exist
  • Analysis can be automated
  • Response time -  Good to find under performing parts of the code
  • Browser type - What have we tested the  JavaScript and Dav against
  • Size - If we have GC issues there may be a coorelation
  • Status code - Spot errors and missing files
  • IP address - How many eyeballs have been on the test
  • Timestamp - directly searchable in catalina.out for errors

More - No doubt.
