Squash – an exception reporting and bug analysis tool

Squash is an open-source project from Square which consist of collection of tools that help engineers find and kill bugs in their code by automatically collecting, collating and analyzing run time exceptions.

Squash consists of the following components:

• Client libraries: Client libraries for different systems (Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Cocoa with Objective-C, etc.) catch and record errors when they occur, then send them to the API endpoint. Client libraries can be found under the SquareSquash organization.
• Front-end: This website displays Bug information and helps the engineer find the root cause for a Bug, and fix it. It also lets engineers manage, assign, and comment on Bugs, as well as view statistics about the Bug.
• API endpoints: These routes (part of the front-end app) receive exception notifications from the client libraries and process them.
