:construction: Flaker :construction:

Developing a mobile app that performs flawlessly in the real world requires thorough testing under a variety of network conditions. Introducing Flaker – your assistant tool for recreating real-world network scenarios directly in your mobile app development environment. 📱💡

What is Flaker?

Flaker is a network simulator designed to make your mobile app development process smoother and more efficient. With Flaker, you can effortlessly emulate a wide range of network conditions, enabling you to fine-tune your app's performance and ensure it delivers an exceptional user experience under any circumstance. 🌐🛠️

Key Features:

Experience Slow Networks 🐢

Ever wondered how your app would perform on a slow and sluggish network? With Flaker, you can replicate these scenarios with ease. Test your app's responsiveness and optimize its behavior under adverse network conditions. 🚀🐌

Emulate Flaky Networks 📶

Network connections in the real world are rarely stable. Flaker allows you to introduce fail percentage and variance controls, mirroring the unpredictable nature of network connections. Gain a firsthand understanding of the challenges your mobile app might face and ensure it remains resilient. 🔮🔌

Focused Impact 🎯

Flaker is designed to impact only your app's network conditions, leaving your device's overall network functionality undisturbed. This means you can test and fine-tune your app's performance without affecting your entire device's connectivity. 📡🔍

Who Can Benefit from Flaker?

Whether you're a mobile app developer looking to enhance user experiences or a tester seeking to validate your app's resilience, Flaker provides an intuitive and indispensable tool within your development workflow. Elevate your testing strategies and boost your app's performance with Flaker.
