Adaptive video stream testing

A method, comprising:

• employing a processor that facilitates execution of computer executable instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium to implement operations, comprising:
• validating installation of a digital rights management (DRM) client;
• receiving a decrypted video stream at a particular bitrate in response to validating a DRM client;
• varying the particular bitrate via data throttling;
• executing one or more tests using the decrypted video stream at one or more supported resolutions for a codec;
• and
• generating a test report that lists the codec and test results for the codec.

A method, comprising:

• employing a processor that facilitates execution of computer executable instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium to implement operations, comprising:
• validating installation of a digital rights management (DRM) client;
• receiving a decrypted video stream at a particular bitrate in response to validating a DRM client;
• simulating one or more network speeds for the decrypted video stream via data throttling;
• measuring video playback time for a supported codec on a device at the one or more network speeds;
• and
• determining whether the video playback time for the supported codec exceeds a predetermined threshold value.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising computer-executable instructions, that in response to execution, cause a computing system to perform operations, comprising:

• validating installation of a digital rights management (DRM) client;
• receiving a decrypted video stream at a particular bitrate in response to validating a DRM client;
• simulating one or more network speeds for the decrypted video stream via data throttling;
• measuring video playback time for a codec on a device at the one or more network speeds;
• determining whether the video playback time for the codec exceeds a predetermined threshold value;
• and
• generating a test report that lists the codec and the video playback time for the codec at the one or more network speeds.
