Functionality, Performance and Usability Tests of WebRTC Based Video Conferencing Products

ABSTRACT

Remote working and distance learning has become the new normal due to the COVID-19 epidemic that has affected the whole world. In a short time, the security, functionality and performance of existing commercial and open source video conferencing software have started to be compared and discussed. When video conferencing products are examined, it is seen that most of them are developed by WebRTC technology. WebRTC is an open source software library with a 10-year history that enables real-Time audio and video sharing. Its real-Time nature, access from different types of devices and heterogeneous networks, and the variety of data types make it difficult to test WebRTC products in a standard way or with a standard tool. In this study, functionality, performance and usability test of video conferencing products developed by webRTC are told in terms of domestic products. Due to the fact that the demand for these products will increase in the forthcoming years, test methods and emerged results told in this study will gain more importance. © 2021 IEEE.
