Abstract

A shell application feature can include trigger information and logic. During operation, the shell application feature can receive an indicator that a trigger occurred; and, in response to the trigger, initiate its logic. The logic of the shell feature is locally performed to identify whether state, object type, user actions, or a combination thereof, with respect to the application satisfy a success criteria corresponding to behavior that will be a prerequisite for a potential feature that is not yet fully implemented. If the state, object type, user action, or combination thereof satisfies the success criteria, a success notification can be communicated to a feature collection service.
