Overall Satisfaction with Chrome DevTools

As our Company has many departments, Chrome DevTools are only being used by the web development teams. We have lot of development teams for different projects we generally use Chrome DevTools for debugging, better analysis of code or when we get stuck somewhere. As per the business problems it let us fix different JavaScript issues and suggests how to optimise the code that is running on the PCs as well as mobile phones.
  • First is the Debugging capabilities of Chrome DevTool i.e. very impressive you can set the break points where you think error might exist or you can simply go step by step until you encounter the issue.
  • Second the capability of simulating mobile devices with device mode in Chrome DevTools - It is also great feature in which one can see where the network is throttling one can check for responsiveness of the view port on the mobile device.
  • To analyse network performance - Generally it is a great feature to have because it lets us know which file it may be and if it's JS or CSS that is taking time to load or taking more resources then one can focus on them to make it light weight.
  • As of now I don't have any issue with Chrome DevTool, it is best and improving day by day but if they can they should improve the interface so that switching between different tabs becomes easy.
  • It has all the benefits on can have with a tool and return of investment is also very good in my thoughts, but the exact data in regards to how my organisation invests in it is not available to me.
I generally use the Internet Explorer developer tool that is also good but not as good as Chrome DevTool in every aspect.
In Chrome DevTool one can just hover over the object and can see the all detail but in IE developer tool you manually have to console it.
Chrome DevTools is well-suited for debugging JS errors, for looking on network performance, simulating mobile devices, and remotely debugging mobile web.
