Browser energy efficiency in android
| Resumo: | Nowadays, there is a massive growth in energy consumption in the IT sector, which is leaving a huge footprint in terms of energy consumption despite its benefits. With this, the topic of energy consumption and how to improve it has become one of the most talked-about topics today. Several developments have been made to find the most efficient solutions to the various problems that users and developers encounter. But this is far from being an easy task for both, as there is still very little information available, or sometimes the solutions don’t meet the needs of each one. With this in mind, this dissertation aims to verify which Browser is more efficient in the Android environment since there is not much information in this area. For this, we selected seven browsers and ran four test scenarios in order to force the browsers. To test, we recorded a script for each Browser in each scenario, trying to mimic the use of a regular user. The RERAN tool was used to record and repeat each script five times, and the Trepn tool was used to monitor it. The results obtained allowed us to conclude which Browser was more efficient among the seven selected. |
