Understanding performance optimization
Performance optimization is done to improve an application's performance. You may be wondering why this is necessary. There are many reasons why an application requires performance optimization. When there is a performance problem reported by your users or the quality assurance (QA) team, the developers may discover something affecting the overall application performance. This may occur due to underlying hardware limitations, poor implementation of code, or scalability challenges.
Optimization is part of the application development process. This can involve optimizing code for performance or optimization for memory usage. Optimization aims to optimize an application's behavior so that it satisfies the product requirements for speed, memory footprint, power usage, and so on. As a result, optimization is almost as crucial as coding functionality in the production phase. Customers may report performance problems as glitches, slow response...
