PerfDog EVO v10.0 Introduces Three Major Capability Updates: Deep Analysis, APP Startup Time Analysis, and Network Testing

Performance issues directly impact user experience, causing problems like game lag, device overheating, excessive battery consumption, and slow network responsiveness. Mishandling these issues can lead to reduced user satisfaction and diminished project revenue. That's why performance testing is crucial. It involves measuring the performance of applications or games across various dimensions, including smoothness, graphics quality, overall quality, and more.

It's important to note that different projects may require different performance metrics. Relying solely on a single Frames Per Second (FPS) value is inadequate for assessing the overall smoothness of an application or game. A more accurate approach is to measure performance using frame timing.

Maintaining stability in the testing environment is also critical during performance testing. Before testing, it is recommended to restart the device, close background processes, and ensure a clean testing environment as much as possible. Additionally, using specialized performance testing equipment is advised to obtain accurate performance data, and regular maintenance of such equipment is necessary.

To address these issues, PerfDog EVO v10.0 has introduced several new features and updates.

APP startup time analysis is crucial because users have limited patience when using an app. A cold startup time of 5 seconds for a mainstream app is already considered a poor experience.

To analyze why the app's cold startup takes longer, PerfDog EVO v10.0's deep analysis feature can be utilized, specifically by selecting the Systrace mode for analysis. This feature provides valuable information to identify underlying issues. For example, if the main thread consistently remains in a non-running state while waiting for TaskManager to load and verify tasks (compiled files from Java source code), optimizing this process can improve startup speed.

Performance optimization often involves addressing network-related challenges. Ensuring a good user experience in weak network conditions can be highly challenging. For instance, when users are in an elevator, on a high-speed train, or frequently switching between Wi-Fi and 4G, network fluctuations can impact the application experience. To tackle this issue, PerfDog EVO v10.0 provides a range of network testing scenarios that simulate different network conditions, such as peak hours in the subway. These tests enable developers to detect potential issues that may arise in such scenarios.
