Apache Software as a Sensor (Incubating) incorporates components that work together to provide user-experience researchers, project managers and software developers insights about how web tools are used. Applications for this technology include:

  • user workflow modeling and usability testing–understand how users work with web tools to improve human computer interface and user interface design.
  • business analytics–track and understand user behavior that results in sales and visibility.
  • technology modeling–understanding how user behavior affects overall software system performance.
  • education, training, and resarch–teach, train and assess using with tasks implemented in (virtual) real-world, ubiquitous software environments.

Apache Software as a Sensor (Incubating) consists of a number of components that facilitate user activity log data capture, retrieval, segmentation and analysis, and visualization, as well as staging your own web-based user testing experiments. All components are designed to work together, but can grow as separate projects:

  • The User Analytic Logging Engine (UserALE) (download here; ver. ) – Collect every user event on your web page or tool, know when it was collected, and see what elements it was directed toward.
  • Distill (download here; ver. ) – Retrieve user activity logs that matter to you. Make calls to this extensible analytic framework for segments of your log database, compute statistics, and analyze workflows with graph analytics.
  • The Test Application Portal  (TAP) (download here; ver. )



Apache Software as a Sensor (SensSoft) is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF). Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
