Abstract:
The test involves testing mobile and web application performance under varying network conditions (3G, 4G, Wi- Fi) against the backdrop of Amazon as a test facility. Mobile applications witnessed better performance with 74 % faster load times on 3G networks and consistent responsiveness (63- 120ms). They showed increased memory consumption (384-532MB) for web applications and variants’ performance. The findings point toward the need for mobile-first optimized design and network-aware solutions concerning user experience consistency.
