Mobile web application usage is increasing by the day as the mobile penetration is
multiple times larger compared to PC penetration. All businesses and organizations that
are looking at leveraging the mobile medium should ensure high performance of
their mobile web applications lest their end-users will move on to other providers apps.
The predominant issue with most mobile web apps is related to the speed at which the
application loads. This would affect the bottom line and it becomes necessary to monitor
and optimize the performance of mobile application and the supporting infrastructure for
better user experience. As it is, the mobile application spectrum has a number of
challenges such as the uncontrolled and unpredictable nature of web apps, limited
visibility on the end-user experience, and difficulty in identifying and resolving problems.
Few things that ought to be considered while monitoring performance of mobile web
apps are:
Test functionality of the system using a desktop browser before moving to the
mobile browser
Include all stakeholders in the quality of experience process
Test across the entire delivery chain including backend systems, content delivery
servers, mobility providers, browsers and devices
Use as much as possible real devices instead of emulators and also test them from
the end-user perspective as opposed to just functionality
Ensure that the mobile web application conforms to the best practice guidelines
of UTI for mobile applications
Automate the monitoring of mobile apps as much as possible so that issues can be
resolved before it impacts the end-users. If automation is not possible, then do
them at regular intervals
These would ensure that the mobile web application is optimally performing and will
ensure better quality of user experience.
