MEDIA CONNECTION CHANNEL QUALITY TESTING SYSTEM

A computing device for media connection channel quality testing is described, including communications hardware; non-volatile memory storing a test initiation program; and a processor configured to execute the test initiation program to: transmit, via the communications hardware, a plurality of comparative testing media streams to a test server, each of the comparative testing media streams sent over one of a plurality of media connection channels; receive, via the communications hardware, a plurality of objective quality scores from the test server, each objective quality score corresponding to one of the plurality of media connection channels and are determined by the test server using an objective scoring test comparing the comparative testing media stream to reference testing data associated with the one of the comparative testing media streams; and select a recommended operational media connection channel from the plurality of media connection channels based on the objective quality scores.
