Adaptive bit rate mobile video objective testing

A method for adaptive bit rate mobile video objective testing, the method comprising:

• receiving, at a system comprising a processor, a plurality of screen-capture frames, wherein each of the plurality of screen-capture frames corresponds to a respective frame of an adaptive bit rate video stream being displayed on a screen of a test device;
• creating, by the processor, a screen-capture video stream comprising the plurality of screen-capture frames;
• determining, by the processor, that the screen-capture video stream corresponds to a reference video stream that is non-annotated;
• determining that a direct comparison between the screen-capture video stream and the reference video stream cannot be performed based on the reference video stream being inaccessible for retrieval from a data store;
• obtaining, by the processor, a reference video signature package that is associated with the reference video stream without retrieving the reference video stream;
• aligning, by the processor, the screen-capture video stream with the reference video stream using the reference video signature package;
• generating, by the processor, full reference video quality performance indicators for the screen-capture video stream based the reference video signature package;
• determining, by the processor, delivery quality performance indicators for the screen-capture video stream based on the reference video signature package;
• and
• joining, by the processor, the full reference video quality performance indicators and the delivery quality performance indicators to form an objective quality of experience data structure.

A computer storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a plurality of screen-capture frames, wherein each of the plurality of screen-capture frames corresponds to a respective frame of an adaptive bit rate video stream being displayed on a screen of a test device,
• creating a screen-capture video stream comprising the plurality of screen-capture frames,
• determining that the screen-capture video stream corresponds to a reference video stream that is non-annotated,
• determining that a direct comparison between the screen-capture video stream and the reference video stream cannot be performed based on the reference video stream being inaccessible for retrieval from a data store,
• obtaining a reference video signature package that is associated with the reference video stream without retrieving the reference video stream,
• aligning the screen-capture video stream with the reference video stream using the reference video signature package,
• generating full reference video quality performance indicators for the screen-capture video stream based the reference video signature package,
• determining delivery quality performance indicators for the screen-capture video stream based on the reference video signature package, and
• joining the full reference video quality performance indicators and the delivery quality performance indicators to form an objective quality of experience data structure.
