Description: Application latency refers to the delay a user experiences between the action they take and the response they receive from an application. This phenomenon is critical for quality of service, as high latency can negatively impact user experience, causing frustration and reducing efficiency in application use. Latency can be influenced by various factors, including network speed, server capacity, and the complexity of the operations performed by the application. In environments where real-time interaction is essential, such as in online applications, multimedia streaming, or interactive platforms, application latency becomes a fundamental aspect to consider. A quick response time is synonymous with a smooth and satisfying user experience, while high latency can lead to user abandonment and a negative perception of service quality. Therefore, companies and developers must monitor and optimize the latency of their applications to ensure optimal performance and maintain customer satisfaction.
