01 - Launch a first benchmark

update 18 FEB 2025

Benchmark is the fastest way to get result with an automated test execution. However, it does not give a personalized analysis with a precise user journey.

All the benchmark procedure takes place on saas.greenspector.com . Please go to the plateform and log in.

Launch a benchmark

First, click on New analysis in the nav bar :

An analysis in Greenspector Studio regroups all tests of different versions of a measured application or website.

Choose Benchmark

Enter the name of the app ans its version

Versions allow to compare different updates of the same application:

For an application, version number is often used (ex: 1.02.03)
For a website, the measurement date is often used (ex: 06_12_2023 with format dd_mm_yyyy)

Choose a test environment. The list shows the available devices on our testbench. For this first try, it is recommended to choose the most available device : Galaxy S9
Specify the type of the item to measure: Web or Android
Click on Next

For website, enter the URL for a website
For application, enter either :
- A link to the .apk file
- A package name which will be downloaded on Google Playstore

Package name example for VLC video player

If the URL of the website or the apk of the application are not public, the testbench measurement will not be possible. The measurement should be done on a local device.

Follow the measurement process

The Tests tracking tab allows to verify if the test is taking into account by the testbench:

When Pending, the test is waiting for an available device in testbench
When Running, the test is currently running on a device
When Finished, the results are available

Waiting time depends of the availability of testbench devices.

At the end, click on the test to get more information, as logs, screenshots or dump. They stay available for 7 days.

Show benchmark dashboard

After the test is complete, the results are available in the dashboard tab, with a global Ecoscore from network and client resources grades.
