EUC Score Test Results

Test Results Collected from EUC Score Experiments

EUC Score experiments are designed to measures and quantifies perceived end-user experience in remote applications and digital workplaces, both on premises and in the cloud. This is the landing page leading to different examples and categories of EUC test results obtained in community-driven experiments.

Selected test results organized in chronological order are listed below. They are only a small subset of many data sets collected during a range of community-driven experiments, but they can give you a good impression of the EUC Score capabilities.

How it works

EUC Score test results are visualized in the HTML5 Sync Player that runs inside a browser, such as Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. The Sync Player client area is divided into two foreground media output tiles at the top, a numerical data visualization area at the bottom, and a control and status bar in the footer. The horizontal bar at the top of a screen video tile contains a title on the left and two icons on the right side. A click on the first icon opens a popup with setup details. A click on the second icon zooms into the screen video. A click on the Report button in the bottom right corner of the footer opens an overlay dialog in the data visualization area, showing test observations and findings.

In Single View Mode, the top left tile contains a test run screen video and the top right tile shows animated text representing timely correlated user activities and session runtime details. The numerical data visualization area shows animated telemetry data collected on the host side.

In Double View Mode or Side-by-Side View Mode, both top tiles include test run screen videos with a yellow border on the left side and a red border on the right side. The numerical data visualization area shows animated telemetry data collected on the host side and color-coded according to the video border colors.
