Running Mobile Device QR Code Tests

When injecting an image with a QR Code or barcode, the image size in your preview may exceed the boundaries of the target scanner area, which would prevent your app from reading the code.

CPU Profiles as a Diagnostics tool in Node.js

With Node.js applications and services, spotting the performance bottlenecks in your applications is deciding to take real advantage of the speed and reliability that Node.js has to offer. A CPU profile is a way to understand how your application is executed, what functions devour what percent of CPU time, and provides enough information for a more precise application diagnostic.
