Challenge Overview
Project Introduction
The client for this project has a large (40k+), traveling/non-office based workforce with employees who often work from remote locations. About 95% of the employees use PC laptops but all employees regularly conduct Microsoft Lync audio calls and join Lync meetings with video and screen sharing. Based on the internet connection, some meetings/calls work better than others. The client has envisioned a custom tool that will test a user’s internet connection from their PC/Mobile Device in their current location. It will measure the different components of the connection (PC resources, voice quality, latency, upload/download speed, bandwidth, & packet loss) and provide a recommendation for the best Lync experience.
In this project, we want to add synthetic tests described in the input document Lync_Synthetic_Test.docx to our WPF utility.
Challenge Requirements
Lync scenario-driven network assessment using Lync SDK
Please refer to the input document for the details on how to implement
-
Please add the bandwidth counter for all Test Operation in the WPF utility.
-
The results should be displayed in the Test Result window after each test operation.
-
Make sure the utility can test both P2P and MCU mode, and you need to provide verifications in the deployment guide. For more information on P2P and MCU, please see the input document - Lync_Synthetic_Test.docx
-
The network metrics described in 2.2.3.4 should be collected and reported in test result.
Environment
-
.NET Framework 4.0 and above
-
Skype for Business Developer page: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/mt124990.aspx
-
Lync Server 2013 : https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-lync-server-2013
-
Lync SDK 2013 : https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36824
-
Testing Environment - we can provide testing accounts for you to directly test the Skype For Business server on the cloud, please request the test account in the challenge forum, so you don't need to setup the Lync Server environment on your local. But Lync SDK is still required to install for you to do the development and testing work.
