# NetVelocity - Network Speed Test Application
**NetVelocity** is a simple network speed test application built using Python's `Tkinter` library for the graphical user interface (GUI) and the `speedtest-cli` module to measure internet speed. This app measures your download speed, upload speed, and latency (ping), and displays the results in a visually appealing GUI.

## Features
- **Ping (Latency)**: Displays the ping in milliseconds (ms).
- **Download Speed**: Measures and displays the download speed in Megabits per second (Mbps).
- **Upload Speed**: Measures and displays the upload speed in Megabits per second (Mbps).
- **Interactive Button**: The "Start Test" button triggers the speed test and updates the results on the GUI.
- **Minimal and clean design**: The application provides a user-friendly interface with an intuitive layout.
## Requirements
To run this application, you need the following:
- **Python 3.x**: Make sure Python 3.x is installed on your system.
- **Tkinter**: Python's built-in library for GUI development (it should be installed by default with Python).
- **speedtest-cli**: A Python library used to test internet speeds.
### Install Required Libraries
1. Install `speedtest-cli` using `pip`:
```bash
pip install speedtest-cli
```
## How to Run
1. **Download/Clone the Project**:
- Download the source code files or clone this repository using:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/arjav0703/NetVelocity.git
```
2. **Run the Application**:
- Open a terminal/command prompt in the project directory and run:
```bash
python3 ./NetVelocity/main.py
```
- This will launch the application window, and you can click on the "Start Test" button to begin the speed test.
## How It Works
1. **Speed Test Execution**:
- The `test()` function calls the `speedtest.Speedtest()` class to check:
- **Download Speed**: Measured in Mbps (Megabits per second).
- **Upload Speed**: Measured in Mbps.
- **Ping (Latency)**: Measured in milliseconds (ms).
- The values are then displayed on the GUI in their respective labels.
2. **GUI Updates**:
- Once the test is complete, the download speed, upload speed, and ping are updated dynamically on the screen.
- The results are displayed in real-time using Tkinter's `Label` widgets.
## Troubleshooting
- **Issue**: If you see an error like "No module named 'speedtest'":
- Solution: Install the `speedtest-cli` library using `pip install speedtest-cli`.
- **Issue**: The application doesn't display the correct result:
- Solution: Ensure that your internet connection is active and working correctly before testing.

- The app uses the `speedtest-cli` Python package to measure internet speeds.
- Thanks to the Tkinter library for providing a simple and easy-to-use way to create GUIs in Python.
