WebRTC.ventures Senior Engineer Alberto Trastoy Gonzalez learned the hard way that WebRTC based applications are different from other web applications. WebRTC carries a unique set of challenges around interoperability, scaling, networking, security, testing, and debugging.
A WebRTC app needs to work on a variety of platforms, in different hardware and network configurations, and at various levels of user load. Testing is not as simple as buying a single tool or adopting a single methodology. It requires layering a variety of techniques, as well as expertise that most teams don’t have.
