The next billion users

Every day we use 2000 dollar computers to build and test our apps. However, it has been shown that the next billion internet users will access our apps through low end devices with lots of limitations. They are on remote places of the globe, they have accessibility restrictions and devices with limited compute power and slow connection speeds. In this talk we will reflect on how to build and test apps that can be used by everyone and not just a few.

2. RAISE YOUR HAND… IF YOUR COMPANY DEVELOPS OR TESTS APPLICATIONS
3. RAISE YOUR HAND… IF YOU COMPANY TESTS THAT YOUR APPLICATIONS WORK ON LOW COST DEVICES
4. RAISE YOUR HAND… IF YOU COMPANY TESTS THAT YOUR APPLICATIONS CAN BE USED BY PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
5. THE NEXT BILLION USERS THOSE WHO CANNOT ACCESS OUR APPLICATIONS TODAY BECAUSE OF SEVERAL REASONS ¿WHAT WE DO ABOUT IT?
6. REMOVE BARRIERS TECHNOLOGICAL BARRIERS ACCESSIBILITY BARRIERS 1. ¿WHAT ARE THESE BARRIERS? 2. WHAT AND HOW TO TEST 3. WHERE IS THE INDUSTRY GOING
7. 2018: 4 BILLION INTERNET USERS 2016 STATISTICS PAÍS INETERNET USERS CHINA 746 MILLIONS INDIA 391 MILLIONS USA 245 MILLIONS BRASIL 123 MILLIONS JAPÓN 117 MILLIONS RUSIA 110 MILLIONS MÉXICO 76 MILLIONS INDONESIA 66 MILLIONS URUGUAY 2.3 MILLIONS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_number_of_Internet_users

9. 1 BILLION A BIT OF DATA GOOGLE IO 2017 (INDIA) MOBILE USERS EXPECTED 2020 100 MILLION NEW INTERNET USERS IN 2017 1 OUT OF 3 USERS RAN OUT OF MEMORY DAILY HALF USERS ON 2G CONNECTIONS 500MB DATA PLAN COST EQUIVALENT TO 17 MONTHLY HS OF MINIMUM WAGE WORK 2 DOLLARS COST TO DOWNLOAD A FREE APP (40 MB)
10. THE NEXT BILLION USERS WILL ACCESS OUR APPS THROUGH DEVICES COSTING 200 DOLLARS (OR LESS) THE TRADITIONAL APP MODEL WILL NOT WORK FOR THESE USERS
11. HOW TO TEST / WHAT TO TEST • CHROME NATIVELY ALLOWS FOR LOW COST DEVICE EMULATION • MOBILE APPS: USE REAL DEVICES • DEVICE?: MOTO G4, IPHONE 5S • 3G INTERMITTENT CONNECTIVITY • MEASURE BATTERY CONSUMPTION • MEASURE DATA CONSUMPTION • WEBPAGETEST.ORG developers.google.com/billions  guide on how to optimize apps for low cost devices
12. WEB INDUSTRY INITIATIVES LIGHT WEBSITES ARE SUBSTITUTING MOBILE APPS LITE, MOBILE, PWA mobile.twitter.com m.uber.com ride.lyft.com m.facebook.com mail.google.com developers.google.com/web/progressive-web-apps
13. PROGRESSIVE WEB APP NO INSTALLATION OR UPDATE COST NO STORAGE ISSUES SUPPORTS PUSH NOTIFICATIONS CAN WORK OFFLINE! DEMO
14. ANDROID GO www.android.com/versions/oreo-8-0/go-edition • PARALLEL ANDROID DISTRIBUTION • DESIGNED FOR ENTRY LEVEL DEVICES • GOOGLE DATA SAVER • OPTIMIZED APPS ▪ MAPS GO ▪ YOUTUBE GO ▪ MORE
15. DISABILITIES TO CONSIDER SITUATIONAL, TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT ACCESSIBILITY • NO OR LOW VISION • HEARING • MOTOR • COGNITIVE • SPEECH
16. KEEP THIS IN MIND VISUAL ELEMENT SIZE COLOR CONTRAST ARIA “FIST TEST” MOTOR WIDE SPECTRUM NAVIGATE WITH MOUSE ONLY NAVIGATE WITH KEYBOARD ONLY HEARING NO SOUND SIGNALS CLOSED CAPTIONS, ALWAYS CAREFUL WITH MOBILE DEVICES COGNITIVE INFORMATON OVERLOAD CONTENT REVIEW LANGUAGE AND LOCALIZATION developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/accessibility
17. ACCESIBILITY TESTING TOOLS SCREEN READER LIGHTHOUSE DEMO webaim.org/standards/wcag/checklist developer.paciellogroup.com/downloads/TPG_Mobile_Testing_Guide.pdf
18. LET US COMMIT OURSELVES TO LEAVE NO ONE BEHIND OUR TESTING AND DEVELOPMENT PROCESSES speakerdeck.com/diegocard
