Microsoft helping devs improve Win8 app peformance

elapsed · Apr 4, 2012

One of those tips is reducing the amount of time between activities on a Windows 8 Metro app for a user to complete a task. That will help with a user's perception about the performance of that app. Another tip is to add some kind of progress bar when a task is activated in an app. Tepper says that can also help with how a user imagines how long an app accomplishes a task, saying, "The amount of time users are willing to wait for the work to complete is far higher because there is no uncertainty."

App profiling can also be used to gauge the responsiveness of an app. Visual Studio 11 has a app profiling tool, shown above, that developers can access to create a report that records the times for an app's various functions.
