Abstract

Collection and analysis of data about users activity can not be overlooked by their creators, mainly due to strong competition in the market of mobile solutions. Today, many companies such as Google or Yahoo see that problem and provide technology to support developers in the field of data collection and analysis. The solution which is proposed in this article is undoubtedly an additional value for developers, based on the popular development tools, such as Unity3D and Django. Using this tool it is possible to monitor user activity within the application, from simple events such as starting and stopping the application to more complex actions. Events of this type are the basis of user activity research in mobile solutions. As a further suggestion, it would be helpful to examine actions, such as minimizing applications, load or level change, which would give the opportunity to observe the length of transition from one level to another within the game. The proposed tool supports the optimization and automation of data related with user behavior, so it can be successfully used for the study of user activity in mobile applications.
