Web Compatibility Service Automating Issue Mitigation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional techniques for resolving web page compatibility issues are personnel and resource intensive, relying heavily on human discovery and development of fixes for compatibility problems between web resources and web applications.
Innovation Solution
A compatibility service employs web crawlers to identify known compatibility issues and applies compatibility elements to mitigate these issues, with user feedback used to adjust the distribution of these elements among clients, notifying developers of effective fixes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional techniques are used to mitigate compatibility issues, then compatibility problems can be addressed, but the process becomes personnel and resource intensive
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service by automatically detecting compatibility issues through web crawlers and applying mitigations without requiring manual personnel intervention. The compatibility service autonomously queries for known issues, receives notifications, and applies compatibility elements to web resources.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-querying a compatibility service for known compatibility issues before users encounter problems. Compatibility elements are prepared and applied in advance based on预先 identified issues, preventing rather than merely reacting to compatibility problems.
2Reliability
If manual discovery and development of mitigations is performed, then compatibility issues can be identified and fixed, but the process becomes time consuming and resource intensive
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces the mechanical process of manual discovery and development with an automated computer-based system. Web crawlers automatically discover issues, compatibility services process information, and systems apply mitigations, substituting human manual work with automated computational processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback loops where web crawlers continuously monitor for compatibility issues, the compatibility service processes this information and provides notifications, and the system applies mitigations. This continuous feedback cycle enables automatic detection and resolution without manual intervention.
3Ease of operation
If compatibility elements are applied to mitigate issues, then user experience is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The compatibility service acts as an intermediary between the web application and the compatibility elements. It receives queries about known issues, processes information from web crawlers, and automatically applies appropriate compatibility elements, mediating the complexity away from the user-facing web application.
Data Source
AI summary
Techniques for web resource compatibility with web applications are described. According to one or more implementations, an indication of a request to navigate a web application to a web resource is received. Based on the request, a compatibility service is queried regarding compatibility status of the web resource with the web application. According to one or more embodiments, if a compatibility issue between the web resource and the web application is identified, a compatibility element is provided to mitigate the compatibility issue. At least some embodiments enable a user to provide feedback regarding presentation of the web resource by the web application with the compatibility element applied. At least some embodiments notify a developer of the web resource about a compatibility issue of the web resource with the web application.
