Overview

The viewer will see the operating system perform and how it looks when doing common daily task like copying and pasting, YouTube, email, keyboard, contacts. In addition you get a feeling of the systems speed and the amount of battery needed. The intention of the test is to show the speed, layout and workflow of the device and the operating system.

To get DaSchmi working on as many platforms as possible the whole test is not based on specific apps or operating system exclusive features. The test is performed by the user which leads to realistic real-word usage data. 

Whats needed

To perform the test by yourself you should meet the following requirements to get comparable results.

• test the DaSchmi procedure at least once before you start to record with a camera
• your phone needs to be connected to the internet and disconnected from the charger
• the step-by-step instructions should be accessible for you during the test (on paper or an additional display)
• display brightness should be switched to automatic
• try to avoid not needed apps running in the background
• Note when uploading your video to the internet: The test tries to avoid to display phone numbers or email addresses. Depending on your configurations you better check if you are not uploading private information to the internet

Tipps for performing the test  

• The test is based on multitasking. If not explicitly written you don’t have to close running apps.
• Try to go through the tasks smoothly. You don’t have to comment the actions you do.
• Feel free to use voice guided functions.
• Before you start: make sure no non-essential programs are running in the background.
• If you make a mistake, it doesn’t matter… that’s why it's called a real-world test
• If you are note recording with a camera try to measure time with a stop watch. People at least have a time to rely on.
