Tests

Is there a resizing feature corresponding to the intended use of the uploaded image built into the upload feature?

Precisions

Image transfers introduce peculiarities related to the format of the images, some generate very different file sizes. Image sizes and quality levels very quickly increase the volumes needed to store images. Transcoding and resizing can be carried out before transfers but require processing resources, intermediate storage spaces and create new files which, in the absence of automatic cleanings, can increase the volume of data.

Use Case

Browser tools/consoles allow to check compliance w/ best practices for images resizing, compression (CHROME: extension greenIT : best practices)

8 other criteria related to the recommendation: Limit the use of hardware components or sensors on user terminals

Recommendation

Technology

Are the sensors being used as needed, rather than constantly ?

Recommendation

Technology

Are the pause functions available ?

Advice

Technology

Is the inaccessibility of a sensor, linked to the equipment or to the user's choice, treated to allow the service to be functional nonetheless (if possible) ?

Advice

Technology

Are predictive algorithms in place to avoid the use of physical sensors ?

Recommendation

transfers

Do you inform users of the size constraints and accepted file format ?

Advice

Technical User Experience

Is the frequency of the animation appropriate for the functionality ?

Recommendation

transfers

Do uploads only allow the list of authorized file types ?

Recommendation

transfers

Are the exchanged files compressed ?
