Are there industry standards for acceptable/good JS error rates for FE apps?

We are using TrackJS to monitor our FE applications for JS errors.

I would like to promote the usage of the tool in the engineers everyday live for

  • checking manually after releases
  • monitoring regularly for new trends (browsers, urls, new types of errors)

I think this could improve the quality of our platform and also find and solve issues faster.
This happens already at some degree but it depends a lot on the individual teams and devs.

For motivation I would love to show that we have room for improvement there by comparing us to some other players or some industry standard (If there is room for improvement, but my gut feeling suggests it).
But there seems to be very little available data on that.
TrackJS themselves publish some statistics (Global JavaScript Error Statistics • TrackJS) but these are fluctuating a lot and also “only” from TrackJS customers…
Is anybody aware of more sources on that?

Welcome to the club Christian.

As for your question, I have to try instead give some input only from the perspective of someone who still thinks that java is a variety of ham (http://javascriptisnotjava.com/) . Basically you are searching for a quality metric when I read your question - so you are probably asking something along these lines? Feedback about QA metrics. Which ones would you add/remove? - #11 by vitalysharovatov

I know you are looking for a number, but all quality is relative to value, and the value is the real metric to watch.
