Lightweight mobile network testing for short projects — how do you handle it?

Hi everyone,

I’m curious how different teams approach mobile network testing in short-term or resource-limited projects.

In many cases, carrying dedicated tools or rooting test phones isn’t practical.
What usually matters most is getting service-level KPIs quickly:
voice quality, web browsing, video performance, throughput.

From your experience:

  • What tools or setups work best in these scenarios?

  • Where do you see the trade-off between depth and efficiency?

Interested in learning from real field experience.
