How can developers and designers iterate faster?

Determining performance needs

Delivering a great user experience means determining whether the GUI application can render the necessary graphics and perform all the other tasks that the system needs.

Estimating system memory

Understanding memory footprint is critical — too little and you will have to make design concessions; too much and your bill of materials cost will be unnecessarily high.

Measuring storage requirements

Calculating storage needs depends on several factors: graphical asset space and binary sizes, size of the OS and other system dependencies, image compression types, font types and number, and a lot more.

Is your platform powerful enough?

Testing and benchmarking are essential to understanding what your hardware is capable of. Whether finding and running demo images or running a handful of resource-intensive GUI elements, real-world verification is the best way to find your target platform.
