52.26.13 Weibo

This activity is used to test the general user experience of the Chinese micro-blogging service Weibo (Mandarin: 新浪微博, Xīnlàng Wēibó).
Two devices are required for this kind of testing, each using a different Weibo user account. The test begins with the two users logging in to their accounts. Then the following cycle is repeated a predetermined number of times: one device (the "master") posts a status update on Weibo and shares it with the other device (the "slave"); the slave responds by making a comment on the status update. Performance is measured in terms of the success rate of such test cycles and the average time taken to complete them.
The two users must be friends/followers of each other so that when one user communicates, the other will be notified. The two devices must be connected to the same PC and the same instance of TEMS Investigation.
For the recommended script setup, see below.
