Abstract
Systems and methods for controlling an intentional crash of a software application. One system includes a computing device including an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to receive a crash setting for the software application from a configuration server. The crash setting has a first value or a second value. The electronic processor is also configured to detect an unexpected use of the software application during execution. The electronic processor is configured to, in response to detecting the unexpected use and the crash setting having the first value, intentionally crash the software application causing a generation of a crash report describing a state of the software application when the unexpected use occurred. The electronic processor is configured to, in response detecting the unexpected use and the crash setting having the second value, not intentionally crash the software application.
