MOBILE APPLICATION MONITORING SYSTEM

摘要

A method and system to test, monitor, audit and share revenue associated with third-party software applications operating on mobile devices over a network operator's wireless network. An application may be tested by the mobile application monitoring system to simulate the expected load of the application on a mobile device and the wireless network utilized by the mobile device, and to determine any services utilized by the application. Based on the simulation, the system determines a compensation arrangement under which revenue associated with the application will be shared between the network operator and the application provider. Revenue is shared inversely with an application's impact on customers and on the network operator. Modifications may be made to the compensation arrangement by the system to cause the revenue share or other compensation value to increase or decrease based on non-performance-related features or consequences that are identified by the system.
