A small guide…to J2me benchmark/test midlets
Many times I’ve browsed the web to find the “best” midlet to do testing, finding supported JSR, and so on. So here is a small list of resources I’ve found on this topic. So feel free to add unlisted things, so I will be happy to extend the list.
- Calibrator
This one is doing a good job in many areas, testing all capacities of different JSR, RMS speed,video/audio capacities, etc…Results are send to a server, but this server side is really lacking of polishing. No organisation at all….That’s the only point to improve, but the midlet proven to be very useful. That’s my current favorite. - TastePhone
Here also, a lot of different tests are made, including RMS speed, copy speed, etc… Results are available on the result pages, but it might be in French only - JBenchmark
On of the older, probably good for speed checking, but limited forother informations. Speed issue is only a small part of the problem. But good website to browser the results…
Note that there are others benchmark now, JBenchmark2 (for MIDP2.0 devices) and JBenchmark3D (for JSR184). - GrinderBench:
position themseves as an “industry benchmark” developed by EEMBC, but coming very late in the market, and focused only on speed benchmark. - FPCBench: Update: The author of FPCBench posted some info on the bench as a comment of this post. It seems that it’s more than just speed. Unfortunatly, my main concern with this bench is that the UI is not as simple as Calibrator (why a Calculator is needed in such program), and results seems to be send through SMS…
- MicroCode: another project, not tested (thanks Wendong)
Other interesting resources:
I use frequently J2mepolish device database library, to quickly find if a handset support a specific JSR or not…. This database can be reused with j2mepolish to create specific build per device, or device family.
