Detailed interpretation of the new version In the mobile performance test, "frame rate" has always been the concern of practitioners, especially in previous game performance tests, "average frame rate" is the focus of attention. However, a single metric can often be oversighted and fail to reflect a more detailed gaming experience. This time, PerfDog innovatively released a new indicator, Smooth, which can more accurately evaluate the smoothness of the game or application screen. Compared with the average frame rate commonly used in the past, this innovative indicator is closer to the user's reality. The user experience provides more sufficient data support for game/application performance optimization.

In addition to the stable frame index (Smooth), version 7.1 released a new indicator, SmallJank, which captures subtle jank based on Jank. It helps developers to more accurately grasp the subtle stuttering of the currently tested game or application, and provides a more intuitive data display for the comparison before and after optimization of the application or game.

The Perfog 7.1 version further adds an exclusive self-developed frame energy consumption FPower, which can evaluate the power consumption performance more scientifically and quantifiably. Added Android temperature indicators to help developers obtain the industry's first real temperature data for GPU, Battery, and NPU in Android, optimize CPU temperature, and accurately identify the temperature of CPU, GPU, Battery, and NPU core components; better support In-depth performance analysis of mobile applications provides a strong guarantee for developers to locate and optimize problems in depth.

In addition, this version update also optimizes some operational details of PerfDog, such as quick view of indicator interpretation, WEB use case report showing the current test time, etc. The quick view function of the indicator meaning allows new users to get started operating PerfDog more quickly. Hover the mouse over the parameter name to quickly view the definition, saving new users from repeatedly searching for the manual. The WEB use case report shows the current test time, which is convenient for users to associate and query the test data with other system data.

The new version also fixes some other known bugs to further improve the user experience of PerfDog, making Perfdog more comprehensive, stable and easy to use. Those who have not yet updated can download and upgrade to experience the new version now.
