The mobile Apps market is flourishing and will become an important part of the 5G business model. Ensuring the proper functioning of 5G Apps and services is then paramount and a homogenous testing and certification scheme can help achieve it. Building on the experience on 4G and App testing methodologies, the TRIANGLE project is pursuing the creation of such a 5G certification scheme, together with the development of a testing platform that can make such scheme feasible and practical. In the present paper the initial investigation on the definition of the certification scheme, together with the impact on practical measurement is presented. The YouTube API and ExoPlayer will be used as use cases for extracting a sets of Key Performance Indicators for comparison.
