3. Developer Tool and its evolution
Developer Tool aka F12 Developer Tool and commonly referred as CONSOLE.
WHAT WE CHANGED -
Traditional approach - Non-UI errors are displayed & used mainly by developer only.
WHAT WILL CHANGE -
Functional tester’s involvement, approach, vision & contribute more towards console.
END RESULTS -
Client’s trust and confidence & more business.

4. Conventional approaches for Using Dev Tools from Tester’s eye
To check for the errors in console which does not get displayed over the UI.
To spot check any unusual logs.

5. Untapped potentials of dev tool & console from tester’s eyes.
Tailoring / network bandwidth over the application aka Network Throttling
Servers calls generated within Network Pane
Performance / Page rendering
Usability

6. Network Throttling
“Overlook the network conditions - end users may face on applications. Use DevTools to emulate different network conditions. Report any load time issues to get them fixed in a timely fashion”
Excellence | Partnership | Commitment

7. Getting API Information from Server calls
A good way to interrogate the REST API by observing the network traffic between the GUI of the application and server.

8. Performance / Page Rendering

9. Usability
Usability:
Test the count with value from any DD (that changed on customer’s feedback).
Orientation:
Verify application’s orientation & behavior over different predefined 29 combinations of mobiles & laptops.
Can even add new device - just specify pixel ratio & height - width

10. Conclusion and Take Away
The Dev tools are not limited only for Developers.
Its never too late for a functional tester to start using
these potentials while testing on daily basis.
Incredibly easy to use, comes handy with each browser
- either integrated within the browser itself or as an add-on.
Can help a tester with the additional information to
troubleshoot the issues with more ease.
