    I enabled additional error logging last night on My Projects but made a typo.  Resolved now, thank you.

    @CA3LE Btw, not sure if it's related, I'm getting an error after running tests, the "Try Again" button resolves it and the results load.

    I found a bug already 🤣
     
    Not a major concern from my end, but an ampersand in the project or sub-project name causes a mild issue. I entered `AT&T` for both parameters in this screenshot:
     

     
    I was trying to enter "EBrown Home" for Project, and "AT&T LTE" for the sub-project when I found the issue:
     

     
    However, on the bright side: the QR Code at the device-signup page worked exactly as I would hope it does. I scanned it with my phone and it pulled right in, as desired.

    Beautiful! I will play with it later today, I have about 9 hours of meetings today.
     
    Also -- congrats on the new family member! Always exciting, make sure you spend plenty of time with your new baby, my projects are far less important.

    @nanobot Look for "My Projects" under DB in the main menu (outside of the forum).
     
    Play around with it and share your thoughts.
     
    Note, results will only be saved when using the beta version (for now).  When you join a project it will default the target device to the beta automatically.
     
    Another note, you can use emojis in names if you'd like.  Pretty fun.

    I did have it ready for you but wanted to run some more tests.
     
    Been busy with family since my last post.  Volunteered for my daughter's 6th grade YMCA camping trip, which was awesome!  My wife was only days from her due date but she always runs a couple weeks longer.  I also had a friend with me who had a satellite phone and was only maybe 70-90 minutes from getting to the hospital if needed.  I get to the camp and find that although there's definitely no cell service... they have wifi setup for the school.  lol, glamping. 
     
    Anyways, we got back and I under estimated the time needed to get ready.  Before I knew it we were having a baby. 
     
    Reign was born 9/26/2023 9lbs 12oz 22in

    My youngest daughter Reagan holding him, first moments at home.  I have 5 kids now.  
     
    While I moved around the hospital for 72 hours I was able to quickly make and add to projects, search, select, have results saved on those special side databases and then at the end aggregate them all together. 
     
    I want to run though testing the QR Auth again.  In all of my previous testing so far it's working as expected.  You pull up the Pro Auth page on the device you want to test, scan the QR code on your phone (signed in to TMN), your phone asks you to either create a new project or assign the device to an existing project.  As soon as it's selected the target device gets a signal and then the browser's results get tied to your special side database.
     
    In use I thought of some things to improve the experience but I think what's laid down so far makes a good version 1.  For your use case it might just make your life easier.
     
    When I'm able to I'll give it another go over, when satisfied with how it's working for me I'll open it up for your username first.  Once you're happy with the operation we'll share it with the rest of our beta testers.
     
    The code base on this increased 35% from the 18th to the 25th.  So quite a bit more logic has been added since I was already getting excited.  Hope you dig it.

    Based on how the Beta seems to function, I would think it would be a prime opportunity to add a "dual" test, which simultaneously runs both upload and download.
     
    This would be nice for testing in enterprises that have their own data-centers and host VPN/Web/etc. traffic, as they can find out what types of bandwidth carving they should do. I.e., if my Buckeye 1-gig fiber supports a full-duplex 1-gig, then I don't have to worry as much about having a good upload speed when someone else is using my network. But if it's a half-duplex 1-gig, then it changes how I might want to carve out bandwidth.
     
    Just a thought, would be an interesting metric to add. Could be a purple double-arrow in the results that indicates the combined speed as well, since it's not a pure upload/download, but a "dual" / "simultaneous" / "mixed" test.

    Well it's definitely falling into place.  QR authorization done.
     
    You can now have your phone signed in, then go from computer to computer and scan the QR code.  A couple seconds, it links up and then asks you which projected to add it to.  Once you select, the target computer magically gets authorized.  It's really cool.  Again, great idea Elliot.
     
    Coming together nicely.  I'll be hitting you up for real-world testing as soon as I finish my testing.

    Now that I type this, wonder if having a "stress test" with a mixture of block sizes would be handy, would simulate what computers / networks actually do. Some are doing really small data-loads and some are doing large data-loads.
     
    Just a thought.

    Ahhhh, I see.  I can definitely work that in there.  Great idea... super slick.
     
    I'll add that, need to also add pagination (for when you have many projects listed).  Added search functionality last night, pretty cool predictive search.  Where pulls and displays the search results while you're typing.  First time I've done that, it's really nice.
     
    After those elements are complete I'll reset it's databases and put it through real-world testing.  After I've tested some more I'll get it out to you.
     
    Might be the fastest turn around I've done for a request, ever.  And this isn't some small thing, I've been working solid on it since Wednesday.  The main controller for this part of the program is currently 44 kB and then hooks had to be created across the rest of the program to make it play with everything.  Probably another 30 kB.  So I estimate about 74,000 characters.  And that's employing my goal of writing as little code as possible to get the same thing done.  ... I'm not just slapping crap together, you'll see.
     
    I wrote it and I'm not sure how because it's been less than a week (not even 5 days yet actually).  And I didn't touch the keys until day 2, lol.  --- seriously, funny thing is I don't feel like I've done anything.  It built itself.
     
    Very useful functionality, as it's coming together I can see how it will benefit many more use cases.  Can't wait to share it with you.

    Any way it can be setup to work in reverse? I.e. allow me to be on a desktop / laptop computer at a client site and scan it with my phone to add the test(s) to the project?

    Wonder if it could be done pre-test then, similar to how HBO Max and such let me use my phone to scan a QR code to attach the TV/device to my account.
     
    1. Open TMN on target computer
    2. Click "I have a project under another account"
    3. Page opens QR Code
    4. Open TMN on phone authenticated to my account
    5. Open camera and scan QR Code from #3
    6. Add target computer to account for 24 hours (simple cookie with the info would suffice)
    7. Run tests from target computer
     
    Just spitballing ideas, would make it pretty painless to use this way and sticks pretty much to your original plan.

    You can't add tests that have already been performed.  This works by creating side databases and then querying the new data stored.
     
    You would create a project (just enter a name), it then generates a URL (a simple 5 character key).  After you visit the URL on the client machine it instructs TMN to additionally store the results in the project's side database.
     
    You'd then run your tests, going from area to area... giving each unique sub ID's.  Along the way from the My Project screen you'll see the number of results and averages for each sub-project.  You can then query each database individually.  After the system sees that 2 or more sub-project databases have results for a given project it will then display the option to aggregate the databases together for you on the fly.  From that you can see all of the results and differentiate between each of your sub-projects results.  You can then click 'export' and dump all the results to CSV, again aggregated with all of the data included to help you differentiate the results.
     
    I think this will be especially helpful for your use case but home users can benefit as well.  Being able to go from room to room and quickly switch the project to help build a map of possible weak areas.  It's like identifiers on a much deeper level... and then the identifiers can be used on top of this if that helps some people.
     
    Great idea dude, I can't wait for you to put it to use.
     
    I don't know how useful QR codes will really be... but I'm having fun.

    Alright, it's coming along very nicely.
     
    I'm able to enter a project name and sub name (if desired).  TMN then generates a short, friendly URL and puts it on your list.  When you visit the URL it greets the client and ties that computer to the project for 30 days.  The URL is the sign-in.
     
    From your project list you can see how many results each has and query the results as you normally do.  Then export the results.  Everything in the database works the same.  Add extra identifiers on top of this to further differentiate. 
     
    Just need to give it some logic for aggregating each projects sub-projects into one query, then polish the UI a little more and you can get working with the program immediately.  I think it will make things easier for you.
     
    After I read your post on Wednesday I meditated for what felt like only 15 minutes, plotted it all out.  And then it just poured out onto my keyboard.  Your details helped me visualize.  TMN's framework helped put it together quickly... it was pretty much written, just had to give it instructions for this scenario.
     
    I'm making this specifically for you and don't really care if anyone else uses it.  Original Members get original tools!
