There was a time when standing up a website or application was simple and straightforward and not the complex networks they are today. For basic and simple websites, a developer was able to easily automate these checks and fix any problems before a user encountered them. The recipe was straightforward. Do you have a database?

Mobiles have different models, screen resolutions, operating systems, network types, hardware configurations, etc. Also, how to test the hardware of the mobile phone itself, is it supporting all the software as it should? Let us have a look at the most popular types of mobile testing for applications and hardware.

The Core Web Vitals are a set of three metrics designed to measure the “core” experience of whether a website feels fast or slow to the users, and so gives a good experience. In this post, I’m going to attempt to explain a bit more about what’s going on here and explain some of the nuances and misunderstandings of these tools.

Maybe the best phrase to describe web standards is a set of standardized "best practices" for building websites. These standards allow the web to be free and accessible to anyone that has an internet connection, essentially evening the playing field for those surfing the web.

Monitoring errors on the front-end requires a bit more work because front-end performance is highly dependant on the user’s hardware, software and connection. You need to make sure that your website or app runs smoothly in over a dozen web browsers and hundreds of different devices, which is no easy feat.

Hardware installation was a lot of work but not too frustrating, I did it in about two days over the holidays.
