“What perceived user experience can we expect?” This is a common question many EUC experts ask themselves before changing a digital workspace configuration.

In his session, Benny shows examples on how to set up test labs, run simulated workloads, collect telemetry data, record screen videos, analyze raw data, and interpret the findings. His mission is to produce repeatable DEX benchmarking test results and to replace myths by facts. If you want to know more, check out https://eucscore.com
