TPTEST measures the +throughput speed to and from various reference servers on the +Internet. The use of TPTEST may help increase the consumer/end user +knowledge of how Internet services work. + +TPTEST was originally developed by the Swedish ICT-commission, then +later by the Foundation for Internet Infrastructure (iis.se), the +Swedish Consumer Agency (konsumentverket.se), and the Swedish National +Post- and Telecom Agency (pts.se). The latest development has been to +separate the platform-independent test method software (the test +engine) from the platform-dependent user interface software in order +to make it easier for anyone to write a test client or server that +uses the TPTEST testing method. The test engine code is to be regarded +as a library module and is released under the LGPL license while the +reference client/server applications is released under the GPL +license. + +WWW: http://tptest.sourceforge.net/ |
