crash report

Software failure log

A crash report is a document automatically generated when software fails unexpectedly, containing technical details about what went wrong—error codes, memory states, what the program was doing when it died.

Operating systems prompt users to send these to developers: Would you like to send a crash report?

The reports help programmers identify and fix bugs.
