Use cases

SmartViser Audio MOS Test Automation for Regulators

Media

Media technology reviewers  conduct comprehensive and user-focused battery testing on smartphones to provide potential buyers with a clear understanding of battery performance. Their methods typically balance real-world usage scenarios with standardized testing procedures. Some common practises are: Battery benchmarking, Charging Speed Tests,  heavy usage simulation, standby, video playback, temperature tests and others.

SmartViser Audio MOS Test Automation for Smartphone Manufacturers

OEMs

Manufacturers combine several testing methodologies to ensure that the batteries used in smartphones are reliable, and perform well over the expected lifespan of the device. Battery life is key decision point for end users and they need to ensure superior battery life and performance.

SmartViser Audio MOS Test Automation for Mobile Network Operators Device Teams

MNOs Device

Mobile network operators (MNOs) conduct their own battery testing to ensure that the devices they offer meet specific performance KPIs under their network conditions. MNOs simulate different user profiles (heavy, moderate, and light users) to test battery performance. This includes varying the mix of voice calls, data usage, video streaming, and standby time.

SmartViser Audio MOS Test Automation for Mission Critical Networks

Mission Critical

Testing smartphone battery performance for mission-critical networks involves rigorous and specialized procedures. These networks, such as those used by emergency services, defense, and other critical infrastructure sectors, require devices to perform reliably with good battery performance under extreme conditions and high-stress scenarios.
