Why this, why now?


Poll: When do you feel that feedback about bugs related to your app’s user experience would be most useful?

● During coding / debugging● Before code is checked in to a repository● Shortly after code is checked in to a repository● Once at the beginning of the day● A few times during each release cycle

● How are these environments managed?


Debugging in a specific environment...

● What were the network conditions?
