Progressive Web Applications, a New Way for Faster Testing of Mobile Application Products

Progressive Web application (PWA) is a rapidly emerging technology that aims to provide an intermediate between native applications and web applications. PWAs provide certain advantages over traditional web applications, making them easier and faster to build compared to native applications. This paper discusses the PWA methodology, its advantages, and applications in detail. It also compares PWA with native and website application developments and presents PWA as an effective method for rapid prototyping. This study uses an app developed for security guards at a university for identification and verification purposes to support the claims and demonstrate the strengths of PWA.
