System and method for real-time visualization of website performance data

Abstract

A system for worldwide cloud-based testing of mobile applications includes a plurality of mobile computing devices associated with an enterprise. The mobile computing devices are geographically distributed across a plurality of different countries. The system further includes one or more servers connected with the mobile computing devices over one or more Internet Protocol (IP) networks. The one or more servers run a program for playback of a test composition which includes a timed sequence of clips on the mobile computing devices. The timed sequence of clips including one or more messages each of which instructs a precise gesture-based action applied to at least one object displayed on the touch-sensitive display screen. The precise gesture-based action corresponds to a functional aspect of the mobile application and consists of of a plurality of data elements previously captured from inside the mobile application while the mobile application was subject to the gesture-based user input entered via the touch-sensitive display screen.

         21 . The system of  claim 19  wherein the at least one mobile computing device communicates with the one or more servers via Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) or Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS). 
     
     
         22 . The system of  claim 19  wherein the at least one mobile computing device wirelessly connects with the one or more servers over one or more networks. 
     
     
         23 . The system of  claim 19  wherein the parameters comprise start and end point coordinates of a path, and temporal variations of speed, associated with the previously captured gesture-based user input. 
     
     
         24 . The system of  claim 19  wherein the at least one mobile computing device comprises at least one smartphone. 
     
     
         25 . The system of  claim 19  wherein the at least one mobile computing device comprises at least one tablet computer. 
     
     
         26 . The system of  claim 19  wherein the precision elements have been previously captured from inside the mobile application while the mobile application was subject to the gesture-based user inputs entered via the touch-sensitive display screen. 
     
     
         27 . A method comprising:
 executing a program for playback of a functional test composition on at least one mobile computing device associated with an enterprise, the program executing remotely to the at least one mobile computing device via a communication protocol, the at least one mobile computing device having a touch-sensitive display screen operable to receive gesture-based user input during running of a mobile application, the functional test composition including one or more messages each of which instructs a precise gesture-based action applied to at least one object displayed on the touch-sensitive display screen, each gesture-based action including the precision elements of a previously captured gesture-based user input stored in a memory, each gesture-based action corresponding to a functional aspect of the mobile application, wherein the precision elements include parameters defining changes made to each object affected by the previously captured gesture-based user input; and   receiving at a computer having a processor and a memory test results communicated by each of the mobile computing devices, the test results being generated from the playback of the functional test composition on each of the mobile communication devices.   
     
     
         28 . The method of  claim 27  wherein the precision elements have been previously captured from inside the mobile application while the mobile application was subject to the gesture-based user inputs entered via the touch-sensitive display screen. 
     
     
         29 . The method of  claim 27  wherein the functional test composition comprises a timed sequence of dips. 
     
     
         30 . The method of  claim 27  further comprising aggregating, by the computer, mobile applications metrics from the test results. 
     
     
         31 . The method of  claim 30  further comprising displaying the aggregated mobile applications metrics in a single graphical view provided on a dashboard screen associated with the computer. 
     
     
         32 . The method of  claim 27  wherein the parameters comprise start and end point coordinates of a path, and temporal variations of speed, associated with the previously captured gesture-based user input.
