Automated Test Service Method for Mobile Phone Software Validation

3 is a flowchart illustrating an automated test service method for verifying mobile phone software according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

The automated test service method for verifying the mobile phone software registers model information of the test phone through the manager module of the client as shown in FIG. 3 (step S10). In this case, the registered information includes hardware information of the test phone and operator requirements, and if there is no information to register, it is replaced with basic information.

Then, the test phone is connected to the program of the client server (step S20). At this time, by connecting a plurality of test phones it is possible to test several phones at the same time.

Then, the client server downloads the software corresponding to the test phone from the automatic test server and transmits it to the test phone to check the version information of the software (step S30).

Then, the test category (Category) suitable for the test phone model is retrieved from the automatic test server and transmitted to the client server (step S40). In this case, the delivered test category includes a script to perform an actual test.

Then, the test category transmitted to the client server and the script included in the test category are corrected or collected and the final test item is determined (step S50). At this time, the test category, for example, through the rule editor (Rule Editor) to modify or collect the necessary parts to determine the desired test item to determine the final, the script included in the test category (Script Editor) Correct through

Then, the auto test is started through the finally determined test category (Category) and the script (Script) (step S60). In this case, the script is interpreted through a script interpreter and loaded into a memory, and execution results of each execution command are supported by logging in real time.

As described above, all communication between the client server and the test phone for performing the autotest is performed by a separate task inserted into the test phone.

The task supports processing of an independent command in an independent module, unlike the existing auto test using a Qualcomm command tool (DM) or an AT command. The command from the client server to the test phone is referred to as a forward command and consists of 1 char.

The forward command is composed of a key command for performing a processing request of a main keypad of a test phone and a command for data mirroring.

The command for data mirroring should be registered in a test phone to support wireless internet content verification and quality analysis when auto test is implemented in a WIPI or BREW or JAVA middleware environment.

In the data mirroring, the tester mirrors the received data to the auto test module of the client server whenever the wireless packet data is received using the wireless Internet under a middleware environment such as WIPI or BREW or JAVA.

The auto test module may use this information to verify the quality of the wireless Internet, such as Internet page download time, specific page access time, page download failure, and the like.

Meanwhile, the interface from the test phone to the client to the server is referred to as a reverse output and has a dynamic string length according to the forward command. After the reverse output, the forward command must be echoed.

Then, the test result is divided into a short form and an image form and recorded in the client server (step S70). At this time, in the case of a short form, for example, it is recorded as 'PASS / FAIL / HOLD', and in the case of an image form, the LCD image of the phone is captured and stored.

Then, after the test is completed, the final test result is transmitted along with the information of the test phone to the automatic test server and stored (step S80). In this case, the automatic test server stores the test result received from the client server in a database and performs statistical processing for generating a report. Test results stored in the database are stored separately by target model and test case.

Then, the problems that occurred during the test or development of the target model are collected and evaluated to find a solution.

In summary, the automated test service method for mobile phone software verification of the present invention includes the steps of: (a) registering a plurality of test phone model information with an automated test server for mobile phone software verification; (b) connecting at least one test phone to a program on the client server; (c) downloading the software corresponding to the test phone from the automatic test server at the client server and transmitting the software to the test phone; (d) searching and downloading a test category suitable for the test phone model in the client server from the client server; (e) modifying or collecting and selecting a test category transmitted from the client server and a script included in the test category to determine a final test item; (f) testing the test phone with a test category and script finally determined at the client server; And (g) transmitting and storing the final test result along with the test phone information to the automatic test server after the test is completed.

Here, the plurality of test phone model information registered in the automatic test server preferably includes hardware information of a test phone and operator requirements.

The automatic test server preferably stores the test results received from the client server in a database and performs statistical processing to generate a report.

Between steps (a) and (b), the administrator may define a test category in the automated test server, generate a script, and register the release software.

In the step (g), the test result stored in the automatic test server is preferably divided into a short form and an image form.

After the step (g), the step of reporting the test results stored in the automated test server to analyze the results; preferably further comprises a.

After the test and development of the target model is completed by the method described above, referring to the script commands stored in the server and the test results of the previous model, it is possible to shorten the period of testing and developing the target model.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but can be variously modified and changed by those skilled in the art, which should be regarded as included in the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims. something to do.

As described above, according to the present invention, an automated test service system for verifying mobile phone software and a method thereof provide a toolkit for a task processor for software verification of a mobile phone. It can be used as a quality measuring equipment of contents through shortening and verifying wireless internet contents through mobile phones.
