Performance Analysis
Performance analysis focuses on measuring and evaluating the technical performance of interactive products, such as response times, processing efficiency, battery usage, or resource consumption on various devices. The goal is to identify bottlenecks in the code, hardware integration, or asset usage and optimize the product for a smoother user experience.
This is crucial because performance directly affects usability and user satisfaction; slow response times or laggy interactions can lead to a poor experience. An interactive product that responds quickly and consistently provides a more seamless and enjoyable experience for users. Moreover, good performance analysis prevents technical issues (such as unresponsive interfaces or crashes) from frustrating the user.
Starting Points
- Web Performance (web.dev)
- Performance testing (ICT Research Methods)
- Benchmark test (ICT Research Methods)
Key Points
- You demonstrate the ability to use profiling and benchmarking tools to measure and visualize performance across different devices and conditions.
- You identify concrete performance bottlenecks (such as slow response times due to inefficient code or excessive resource usage) and propose specific optimizations.
- You apply recognized standards or guidelines for optimization, such as responsive design principles or resource management best practices, and substantiate improvements with measurement results.
