Systems, methods and media for managing software defects by aggregating potential software defect information from a plurality of user computer systems are disclosed. Embodiments may include receiving a plurality of software state logs each from an originating user computer system, where each software state log is associated with a potential software defect of an application executing on its originating user computer system and each software state log includes software state information associated with its originating user computer system. Embodiments may also include storing the received software state logs in a defect repository and analyzing the software state information of the stored software state logs to detect patterns in the software state information. Further embodiments may include verifying that a potential software defect associated with a software state log is a defect and transmitting a verification of the software defect to the particular user computer system.
