I'm not an expert but I use time and intensity instead of quantity.

How long can someone stay focused in front of the computer?
Is this something I want to test for?
Is it a technical test, English test, etc?

Imho, these are "better" questions to ask instead of "how many".
For my purposes, 25 minutes works best for me.
