Frontend Performance Optimization for Legacy Web Applications


Refurbishing legacy applications doesn’t have to be overwhelming. By employing strategic techniques like advanced caching, reducing technical debt, and optimizing frontend performance, even outdated codebases can be revitalized.


These improvements not only enhance speed and efficiency but also ensure scalability and long-term maintainability for the application. With the right tools and approach, modernizing legacy system frontends can lead to faster load times, smoother user experiences, and a more sustainable codebase.

Interrupt Testing: Bulletproof Your App for the Real World


Interrupt testing plays a crucial role in ensuring applications can handle real-world disruptions, such as incoming calls, notifications, network fluctuations, or battery alerts. While it’s technically possible to skip this step (though far from advisable), thorough testing is essential for delivering a polished, dependable final product.


This process guarantees that applications remain stable during system events, preserving data and seamlessly recovering their state after interruptions. A critical aspect of interrupt testing is verifying that apps can adapt to changes in network connectivity without issues.


By conducting comprehensive interrupt testing, developers can create more reliable, user-friendly mobile applications that perform flawlessly under real-world conditions.
