Discover how Google analyzes if an Android terminal has "lag"

A video has been published in which you can see how it analyzes Google whether or not Android devices perform well (in terms of their response when manipulating the touch screen). It does this by using a robot that executes predetermined actions to measure the times it takes to carry out.

The recording was published by François Beaufort, who is an engineer for the Mountain View company and therefore knows quite well what he is talking about. The robot that is used to execute the default actions is called ChromeTouchbot and it has been created by the Finnish company OptoFidelity to know the latencies of operation of the products that use Android and, also, Chrome OS.

Then we leave you the video so that you yourself can see what Google does to review and analyze the answer of their mobile devices -and third parties- and establish if their operation is adequate:

Different measurements

The truth is that, as has been seen, the measurements carried out by Google are the most extensive, since they range from the touch screen itself to the response and efficiency when dragging from a point on the panel. The point is that you can establish a scale approximate capacity of a device and its hardware when using the Android operating system. The truth is that with some versions, the results should not have been very specific, as for example with Lollipop, since we must not forget that with this development some operating problems have been detected.

Android-worried

The fact is that there are protocols (which can be obtained here) with which Google measures the operation of devices with their operating systems, and Google's Chrome Touchbot is in charge of applying them. Is it a good idea to use this robot to check if Android works correctly on certain sets of hardware?
