Speed Test
Function: SPEED_TEST
The SPEED_TEST function is used to perform a network speed test on the test device. This function is essential for testing the network speed and bandwidth available to the device.
The step measures download throughput and passes when it reaches EXPECTED_MBPS. Mobile data is switched on first.
- Handsets: the test runs in the Quadified Tools app (
com.quadified.tools); if the app is not available, fast.com in Chrome is used instead. - MCM: the modem takes a network-layer measurement. Results from a modem and from a handset are not comparable.
Supported on: Android, iOS and MCM.
