Imagine you’re in the kitchen, trying out a new recipe for the first time. You’ve mixed all the ingredients you think are right, set the oven, and now you’re waiting with bated breath for the outcome. Then, you see it—a wisp of smoke sneaking out from the oven. You think to yourself, “Smoke! My Dinner is burning!” This moment of truth in cooking is not unlike the first step in software testing known as “smoke testing.”

Adaptive Website Made Easy
A few years ago a colleague of mine and fellow developer, Craig Verrastro, invited his daughter’s music teacher to come present to my department. Why? Because he was seeing impaired, and we wanted the team to see what browsing the web (especially our own applications) was like for someone using a browser for the visually impaired. There were many very interesting moments during the exercise, but one really stuck out for me. At one point he encountered a site that detected that he was using a seeing impaired browser, and redirected him to a simplified version of the site, which was also the site’s “mobile friendly” version. This frustrated him and he immediately found the link to go to the full site. He pointed out that he disliked sites that did this. He said he noticed most people with normal eyesight often disliked these sites just as much, “who wants only a part of the site? No, I want the whole site. If it’s interesting enough to go on the full site, why wouldn’t I want to get it too?” He had a great point and I feel many mobile users feel the same way. I have not found any statistics, but I feel most mobile users do not mind a site optimized for their device, but don’t want some sort of reduced experience.
