[UA-Measurement] Establishing a Starting point, some measures, and figuring out where to focus

[Don Hollander]

Thanks Ron.  Yes, of course, the mobile App is important indeed.

Hi Don et all,

   I have a few additions to this excellent starting point:

* In these ‘modern times’ of  apps on smartphone and tablets it is probably
also worthwhile to do some measurements on different popular apps (top 15 as
well ?) as the implementation of these apps may be quite different from the
websites with which they are typically, but not always, associated.
* Because of the large amount of work to test in all browsers on all OS’es
it may be worthwhile to consider automating this. Especially as the
measurement probably needs to be repeated periodically to measure evolution.
I know that our development team has done some testing with browserstack.com
and/or saucelabs.com (not affiliated with any of these)

Just my 2 cents,

Ron

Dear all:

I’ve been thinking and talking about how we measure success and how do we
know where to focus our efforts.

Some of this is based on the excellent work done by the .sa registry and
some of it by also, but different, excellent work done my Emily Taylor and
EurID on IDN adoptions.  And I’ve tried to incorporate the ideas the Elaine
Pruis of Donuts started for a project of The DNA.

The topic will cross a number of our Project Groups – Certainly the
International Group and certainly the Measurement and Monitoring Group and
possibly some of the others.  We’ll certainly want the Comms group to help
with the message that we send when we find things that don’t work.

It is very rough and I would very much welcome your input.

Don


Measuring Success
 
Browsers:
·     Identify the top 15 most prevalent browsers in use and test.  Add
additional browsers to the evaluation as they become known.

·     Do browsers accept fully qualified Domain Names and resolve them and
not treat them as a search string?

o  Evaluate for each TLD and Each Browser

·     Do browsers display IDNs entered in Unicode as Unicode?

·     Does it depend on the Operating System?  Does it depend on installed
character sets?

·     This needs to be done for phones, tablets as well as desktops and
laptops.

 
 
Applications
·     For the top 100 web sites that allow the creation of a user account,
test to see if an e-mail address is accepted:

o  ASCII at ASCII address – with an early new gTLD deployment as well as with a
very recent gTLD deployment

o  IDN at ASCII address

o  ASCII at IDN address

o  IDN at IDN – Left to Right

o  IDN at IDN – Right to Left

·     Repeat for the top 100 local web sites in each community.

 
E-mail
·     Identify the top 15 most prevalent client based e-mail applications

·     Identify the top 15 most prevalent mail host systems

·     Identify the top 15 most prevalent web based e-mail applications

·     Add any other applications the come to our attention.

·     Test delivery

o  ASCII at ASCII address – with an early new gTLD deployment as well as with a
very recent gTLD deployment

o  IDN at ASCII address

o  ASCII at IDN address

o  IDN at IDN – Left to Right

o  IDN at IDN – Right to Left
