Optimizing your Workflow for a Cross-Device World
Stay organized with collections

If we have to develop for Desktop, Mobile, Tablet, wearables and other form factors, how can you optimize your workflow to make your life less stressful? There's a solid multi-device approach for quick iteration with LiveReload, Grunt, Yeoman, and the newly-unveiled Mini Mobile Device Lab. Lastly, if you don't have the physical hardware you want to test, some providers make it available through the cloud.
Slides: Optimizing your Workflow for a Cross-device world
Key points
- The number of devices that we are going to have to cater for is only going to increase
- Getting your workflow with the right with Grunt and Yeoman
- Simplify cross browser and cross device testing with Mini Mobile Device Lab
- Be smart with your emulation choice using Chrome DevTools Emulation, Stock Emulators, Cloud Based Emulators like Saucelabs, Browserstack and Device Anywhere and third party emulator Genymotion
- Mobile testing means more than just testing on your wifi connection, use a proxy to simulate slower network speeds
