A Replay Approach for Remote Testing User Experience of Mobile Bursty Data Application

Abstract

â??The Bursty data applications become popular in 
 mobile networks, and the quality of end user experience of 
 these applications is vital for mobile telecom operators. 
 Mobile telecom operators and equipment providers begin to 
 design new scheduling strategies aiming at improving 
 quality of user experience. These scheduling strategies can 
 identify particular applications and assign corresponding 
 scheme to them. But traditional test approaches only 
 consider the common performance indicators, so they 
 cannot evaluate the new scheduling strategies. This paper 
 proposes an approach of replaying user behaviors to 
 evaluate the communication system. The approach uses user 
 behavior model to build test scenarios, and evaluate the 
 performance of each application via corresponding 
 particular indicators. Finally, a remote test system is built, 
 and the experiment on this system proves the effectiveness 
 of this approach
