For some simple product categories, logging performance data can be informative.
For complex systems, it’s essential.
When does it matter?
-If you have more than one controller communicating on a common bus
-If you don’t deeply understand the real world use case and loading
-If your product relies on sensor data to perform correctly
-If your product has a warranty that’s based on how much (and how hard) it’s used
-If you’re working on the next generation product, and want to optimize
-If you’re still working through early stage reliability issues
If you build your product with logging in mind from day one, you’ll know when the problems happen. And you’ll have the information to fix them.
Record it. Organize it. Analyze it. Improve it.
