Abstract

The proliferation of mobile Internet services for smartphones makes it more necessary than ever to use measurement tools in mobile devices to monitor their connectivity performance.

The beneficiaries of this tool are mobile operators, service providers and mobile developers, as TestelDroid offers a unified and independent methodology to analyze performance parameters from the application level, taking into account underlying issues.
