What were the tests?
Payload size
Generally a Server-Driven UI payload is bigger than the native one, because the whole layout structure comes from the payload, while the native one has only the information to be showed.
Despite that, in some screens the payload is inferior than the server-drive. This happens, because the BFF (Backend For Frontend) filters the data that it is not used in the application and it does not send the payload.
| Screens | Server-Driven screen responses (in KB) | Native screens response (in KB) |
|---|---|---|
| Home | 423,89 KB | 300,73 KB |
| Detalhes | 2,15 KB | 3,37 KB |
| Search | 12,8 KB | 14,45 KB |
| Test results | 438,84 KB | 318,55 KB |
To more complex screens, the server-driven payload will be bigger. It is important to mention that Beagle uses a cache mechanism and this test is only considered in the first request.
Response time
- Native screens: It is necessary to make several requests to set up the screen.
- Server-Driven screens: It is necessary only one BFF request.
| Screens | Response time on Server-Driven screens (in ms) | Response time on native screens (in ms) |
|---|---|---|
| Home | 312 ms | 448 ms |
| Detalhes | 179 ms | 346 ms |
| Search | 176 ms | 271 ms |
| Test result | 668 ms | 1065 ms |
Performance test
iOS
See the performance difference on native and server-driven screens, considering the initialization process, screen render services request and reponse.
| Phases | Server-Driven screen past time (in seconds) | Native screens past time (in seconds) |
|---|---|---|
| Start test | 0,00 s | 0,00 s |
| Set up | 0,10 s | 0,06 s |
| Open project | 0,13 s | 0,08 s |
| Launch app | 0,15 s | 0,12 s |
| Setting up automation session | 3,95 s | 2,17 s |
| Test result | 8,21 seconds | 6,39 seconds |
