Different aspects of the Website
Positive
There are several prospects of the website of Queensland University of Technology which include things like the making use of the web designs which are responsive in nature and this includes thing like the experience for the students of the university, SEO in an optimized manner along with a maintenance in a proper way which has initially cut the need of the mobile website of this university. The website of QUT is a very good responsive website which provides a lot of information and this is done by the use of the several devices according to the requirements. The same website can be accessed by different students belonging to different educational backgrounds and this can be done by any device irrespective of their size. Being responsive it is one of the best tool provided which is similar to the tool kit used by Google. By the use of this method various types of websites can be accessed by the making use of the mobile devices without any change in the resolution. So the need for updating both the mobile site as well as the main site is not needed. This will initially help in saving time as well as effort of the admin of the website (Bean, 2014). This also helps the students in saving their time as they are no redirecting to other separate websites of the Queensland University of Technology. As considered by Google the redirection is negative term as it consumes a lot of time in searching the contents over the internet. Being flexible in nature the website can be accessed very easily from different locations from different devices (Blunn, 2013). Along with this the method is also cost effective as the involved cost in a single website is similar to the costs of the various websites from a various range of the devices.
Negative
Along with various positive sides the website of Queensland University of Technology is also having few negative sides one such is the time required for loading of the website having responsive web design is more. There are several cases where it has been seen that the users or the students are transferring the HTML/CSS codes to different domains (Demirel, Halic and Kockara, 2014). Along with this there are several cases where it has been seen that the resizing of the images cannot be done or there might also be a negative effect on the time needed for the loading of the websites. Another drawback of the website is that it does not provide the freedom to change few things like the description of the title along with the other contents that are available in the website. The design of this website or the responsive website is made in such a way by which it is capable of providing resolution as required by the user (Chopin et al., 2012). It has been considered that the responsive web designing has made a remarkable evolution in the field of designing the websites. The web designers from various parts of the world are invited for the purpose of taking up various challenges along with coming up with various new ideas (Zhang and Han 2013). By adopting various precautions during the planning and the updating stage of the website can help in avoiding various consequences of the responsive web designing.
Websites Review
There are several reviews regarding the website few of them are listed below:
Advantages
The environment provided by the “Chrome Device Simulator” is very much convenient for easy setup and along with this the Chrome Device Simulator is also considered to be very much fast. The general use of the Chrome Device Simulator includes the analysis of the nature of the application. Simulators for the browsers like the Chrome simulator is mainly applied for the purpose of simulating the environment of the browser (Rainer et al., 2012). The main work of this simulator is to analyze the various functions of the particular website which is preformed until there is a requirement of the testing for the device. The major advantage of the simulator is that it is having a low price and along with this in many cases it has been seen that it is totally free of cost. There are also many cases where it has been seen that the purchasing of the device required is not possible in short span of time and for that the similar is used for the testing. Amongst all the available client software’s, simulator is considered to be the simplest one and it also runs on machines which requires less time than the real time machines so it can be easily concluded that the use of the simulator is the fastest model or the technique. By making use of google simulator it is possible to simulate a situation in an easy manner which might seem to be harder in the real devices. When a testing is being done of a running simulator and the battery suddenly goes does down then it is possible to easily update that to the simulator (Moskal et al.,2013). The testing process in the simulator is very much easy along with being simple. What the user needs to do is just download the respective software and after that installation needs to be done which will make it ready for the testing. Another problem which is easily solved by the simulator is the problem of taking screenshots during the process of testing. There are lots of devices which are present in the market but purchasing all those devices are very much tough along with making of choices regarding which one to choose. Simulator is mainly when the person performing the test is not sure about the right choice for the right mobile device in which they need to do the investment.
Disadvantages
The use of the simulator or the emulator can create a negative impression of the users. By the use of the simulators the testing person is not performing the test in the same platform along with the network which is being provided by the student. The results of the test might be perfect but still it is not sure if the data obtained after the testing can be applied to real devices or not. Another major disadvantage of the simulator is that the hardware and the software features that are supported by the devices that are acting as the simulator in the different versions of the OS as well and along with this the updating of the simulator is generally not done for the purpose of acting in the different versions of the OS (Imai and Takeichi, 2015). The design of the simulator is not done for the purpose of representing all the available testing devices that are present in the market. The thing which is not considered in case of the simulator is that it is not the hardware requirement for the file. Use of the outcomes of the simulators are very hard for checking the various incomplete availability of the data that are containing the important information. The simulation of the proper colors of the display of devices cannot be done properly by the simulator when it is operating in the sunlight or dark. The environment of the operating device determines the running of the emulators. When compared to the mobile emulators that are running on the PC real handsets, then it can be considered that they are having less resources (Mikowski, and Powell, 2013). The simulators that are not connected to the mobile networks are not eligible or does not support interoperability testing.
There are also other tools like the “Google Simulator “which are used for testing and some of them are listed below:
