Abstract: A method and system that proactively generate alerts for updating a scraping script to avoid scraping script errors. A predetermined number of webpages targeted by the scraping script are randomly sampled. The scraping script is appended to each webpage in the sample. A structured list of text fragments across the webpages with the appended script is generated. At predetermined time intervals, a fresh set of webpages is sampled, the scraping script is appended to the webpages, and a new structured list is generated. If the new structured list and the previous structured list do not match, the webpages may have been changed and the scraping script may have to be updated. An alert is generated indicating that such update is required and may include a location of the mismatch. Therefore, scraping script errors are proactively detected and can be rectified before an actual error occurs and propagates.

Abstract: A web browser can manage different session cookies associated with a website by storing the session cookies in distinct tab storage locations associated with different tabs of the web browser, instead of in a global storage location accessible by any tab of the web browser. When the web browser prepares to send a request associated with an active tab to a server associated with the website, the web browser can temporarily copy a corresponding session cookie into the global storage location from the tab storage location associated with the active tab. Accordingly, even if the website does not natively support multiple concurrent user sessions with the web browser, the web browser can send different session cookies to the website based on which tab of the web browser is active, and thereby allow users to engage in different user sessions with the website in different tabs.

If the current copy of the DOM is determined to be similar to the screenshot, the computing system may save storage space by storing the current copy of the DOM and discarding the screenshot. The computing system may store the current copy of the DOM in a memory buffer. The computing system may send the DOM copies or screenshots stored in the memory buffer to the monitoring system, for example, if an error in the application is detected.
