The Extended Software Trace

By analogy with paratext let’s introduce a software narratological concept of the extended software trace that consists of a software trace plus additional supporting information that makes troubleshooting and debugging easier. Such “paratextual” information can consists of pictures, videos, accounts of scenarios and past problem histories, customer interviews and even software trace delivery medium and format (if preformatted).
