Title:
Diagnostic Tests for Flutter Apps: Debugging Techniques
Abstract:
Maybe the most important thing about development is not writing code, it is probably, efficiently and quickly finding and fixing the code that is causing the expected behaviour of your application. Flutter provides a number of tools and features to help debug applications, and the complete understanding of these tools is crucial for developers working in projects, specially production level apps.
In this talk, I will discuss about the various methods of debugging, such as the Devtools built specially for Flutter and Dart that helps a developer debug memory issues, check diagnostics information, diagnose UI jank performance issues, etc. Other than that, we will also talk about the debugging tools provided by Android Studio and VS Code themselves and other miscellaneous tools or features to debug animations, inspect widgets, etc.
By the end of the talk, the attendees will know how to choose the right tool for the diagnostic tests for their Flutter applications, and hopefully gain speed at fixing issues in their code.
