Abstract

Abstract:

There are several known challenges about performance analysis. The traditional methods just care about parts of system, yet the performance of the whole system. The existed methods often only measure the metrics of operating system, but not the experience perceived by users. To solve above problems, this paper proposes a novel method to measure the performance of virtual desktop system. This method need to use user motion controlling language, which allow the tester to simulate the user behaviors on embedded thin client directly. A test framework has been implemented in this method, with a serial of real test on a simple embedded thin client. The basic availability of this method has been proved through some qualitative and quantitative analysis.

Key words: virtual desktop, thin client, user motion controlling language, embedded system
