We are removing our Android app from the Google Play Store next month. All future updates can be downloaded via the GameBench Desktop app. Just connect your device and we’ll ask you to install or update the GameBench Android app. Alternatively you can skip this step. You can always change your preferences in “Settings” -> “Android”.

Does your game consume considerable power from the device’s battery? This is a crucial aspect for user experience and it is beneficial to avoid it. Now you can measure the power consumption on all iOS devices with the updated GameBench Desktop app! Update it to v1.5 version to get started.

Read more on power measurement on iOS devices.

GameBench Pro now captures GPU metrics for many popular devices on Kirin, Exynos, or Helio smartphone processors such as Samsung S9, A40, or Huawei Honor 20 Pro or P30. Support for even more devices coming very soon in future releases.

Get even more insight from your GPU usage with Total, Pixel, and Vertex processing metrics. These new GPU metrics make it possible to detect potential bottlenecks in performance. For example, if FPS drops, it can be caused by heavy FX in the game, and Pixel processing usage will show this information.

Do you execute particular test cases or verify specific scenarios during session recording? Now you can title each session by adding test case names or numbers, scenarios names, ticket numbers, whatever you want!
If you’re looking for specific test-cases executed in several sessions and compare their performance, you can find them using the Advanced Search feature!

Do you need to make complex queries to find specific sets of sessions?
Now you can search for sessions by users, session information, app details and much more via new Advanced Search!
You can use these features in the Web Dashboard on the Sessions page and via our API.

For more precise performance investigation you can find some inklings such as errors or debug messages in the session’s logcat/syslog file. Capturing is enabled by default in the GameBench Desktop app. To capture logcat in the GameBench Pro Android app, please enable the feature in the app settings.

Access your session’s data via API easily with token generation on the web dashboard. 
Just go to “My Account” → “API Tokens”, create a new token to start using GameBench API.
For more information about our API, please read the documentation. 

GameBench Pro now supports iOS 13.
Update the GameBench Desktop app to v1.0 build 9038.
