Self-Validation Using Touchstone 2.0

 

Touchstone 2.0 enables seamless debugging and self-validation of Conviva's video sensor integration with the streaming applications/platforms. It tracks user actions within the integrated devices and subsequently transmits session summaries, metrics, and metadata for debugging purposes.

Touchstone 2.0 eliminates the discrepancy in metric values between Pulse and Touchstone. The older version of Touchstone is a standalone tool. Touchstone 2.0 is available in Pulse, so you don't need to switch the working environments to perform self-validation of any video sensor integration.

Once you complete the integration steps, perform a self-validation and debug the video sensor integration using Touchstone 2.0.

Note: For details about sensor integration, see Conviva Video Sensor Integration.

Touchstone 2.0 monitors the activities of your integrated video application/player. You can see the list of devices, session status, and drill-down further to see the summary of session timeline, metrics, and custom metadata, and so on.
