WorldBench

Ongoing beta testing for a power-consumption analysis tool that will be incorporated into the next version of WorldBench, along with several other new additions, is currently taking place in the PCWorld Lab.

WorldBench is no longer available to the public, and the test suite is now exclusively used by the PCWorld Lab in their benchmarks.

The setup program installs the user interface, testing scripts, and all documents necessary to complete the tasks.

This script is a series of commands—menu requests, keystrokes, and mouse clicks—that cause the application to step through typical tasks.

The computer is also restarted after the initial system setup and final clean-up processes, which prepare it for testing and restore it to its original state.
