Nonfunctional Challenges in Web Application Development
Understand the essential nonfunctional challenges faced in web application development, focusing on performance, accessibility, and legal compliance. Learn why early integration of performance and accessibility testing is critical and how developers can use tools to ensure high-quality, compliant web applications that meet user expectations and regulatory standards.
Now that we understand the key functional challenges, let’s learn about the nonfunctional challenges web application developers face.
In addition to the challenges mentioned so far, web application developers are also required to continuously guarantee high-performing web applications that are always on and available, as well as apps that 100% adhere to complex accessibility requirements.
