Abstract
Online application storefronts enable users to download software applications to their devices. Poor technical quality of applications, such as the app freezing, crashing, or draining device battery can result in a bad user experience that negatively affects the application developer and the storefront provider. However, data regarding application performance may be unavailable to the storefront provider to make assessments of technical performance, thus making it difficult to adjust the way the application is featured in the storefront. This disclosure describes techniques for automatic evaluation and reporting of technical health of a software application without access to developer analytics (or other test data that is confidential or otherwise inaccessible). The techniques include accessing publicly available information about application technical performance, automatically parsing the information to determine a performance metric, and adjusting the storefront if an application fails to meet a performance threshold. Additionally, guidance can be provided to the application developer to mitigate the issues causing poor technical performance.
