Dynamic mobile application quality-of-service monitor

A method for determining quality-of-service, comprising:

• invoking, by a mobile application, a mobile monitoring application (MMA) via an application programming interface (API) supported by the MMA, wherein the MMA is configured to execute on a mobile device and monitor multiple mobile applications executing on the mobile device;
• collecting, by the MMA, network usage measurements associated with the mobile application, wherein the network usage measurements are indicative of mobile application data received by the mobile device;
• and
• determining the quality-of-service of the mobile application based on the collected network usage measurements.

A mobile device, comprising:

• a mobile application configured to execute on the mobile device;
• and
• a monitoring application configured to execute on the mobile device and monitor the mobile application during communication via a network, the monitoring application further configured to
• collect network usage measurements from a network communication session conducted via the network and indicative of mobile application data received by the mobile device, and
• evaluate the collected network usage measurements to determine application-specific usage data associated with the mobile application, wherein the application-specific usage data is operable to and determine the quality-of-service of the mobile application.
