Abstract

PURPOSE:To implement lots of kinds of diversified tests efficiently by implemented unattended continuous execution of the test of exchange software. CONSTITUTION:An integrated test system 23 in a data processing unit 20 at the test of the exchange software decodes a station data collection timing stored in an integrated test procedure file 26 to start a monitor control system 22 thereby down-loading the content of a station data file 25 to a memory in an electronic exchange 10. Then the integrated test system 23 decodes a call processing procedure file collection timing to start a call processing automatic test system 21 to send a signal on a bus stored in a call processing procedure file 24 onto a bus B between a central processing unit 11 and a channel device 12. Thus, a series of test procedures for station data setting and a call processing test are automatically executed.

Call processing monitor means for monitoring and storing, station data is set in the central processing unit based on the stored information in the station data monitoring means and the call processing monitoring means, and between the communication path apparatus and the central processing apparatus. The integrated test means for setting the call processing information and executing the automatic test.

[0006]

In the invention according to claim 1 configured as described above, the station data monitoring means monitors and stores the setting information of the station data in the central processing unit, and the call processing monitoring means and the central processing unit. The call processing information with the processing device is monitored and stored, and the integrated test means sets the station data in the central processing device based on the stored information in the station data monitoring means and the call processing monitoring means. Call processing information is set between the communication path device and the central processing unit, and an automatic test is executed.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an automatic test apparatus for an electronic exchange according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, the electronic exchange 10 has a central processing unit 11 and a speech path unit 12, and the central processing unit 11 and the speech path unit 12 are connected by a bus 13. On the memory of the central processing unit 11, the exchange software 14 and the station data memory unit 15
And monitor software 16 are resident. The monitor software 16 collects online information such as execution control of the exchange software 14 and reading / writing of memory contents. Further, a maintenance terminal 17 is connected for changing station data, and station data is set in the station data memory unit 15 in accordance with an instruction from the maintenance terminal 17.

The data processing device 20 includes a call processing automatic test system 21, a monitor control system 22, an integrated test system 23, a call processing test procedure file 24, a station data file 25, and an integrated test procedure file 26. Have

The interface device 30 is connected between the electronic exchange 10 and the data processing device 20, and the interface software 31 executed on the memory of the interface device 30 operates between the electronic exchange 10 and the data processing device 20. Converts the format of transmitted / received data. The monitor control system 22 in the data processing device 20 controls the monitor software 16 via the high speed line 40.

Next, the operation of this embodiment having the above structure will be described. After the setting of the station data memory unit 15 set by the maintenance terminal 17 is completed, the integrated test system 23 activates the monitor control system 22 and controls the monitor software 16 of the electronic exchange 10 via the high speed line 40. The station data on the memory in the electronic exchange 10 is transferred to the data processing device 20 and stored as a station data file 25. Then, the integrated test system 23 activates the call processing automatic test system 21, and the interface device 30
Signals flowing on the bus 13 between the central processing unit 11 and the communication path unit 12 in the electronic exchange 10 are collected via the and, and stored in the data processing unit 20 as a call processing test procedure file 24.

By repeating the above procedure, the integrated processing system 23 stores the station data file 25, the call processing test procedure file 24, the station data file collection timing, and the call processing test procedure file collection timing. 26 and are accumulated.

During the exchange software test, the integrated test system 23 in the data processing device 20 interprets the station data collection timing stored in the integrated test procedure file 26, activates the monitor control system 22, and activates the high speed line 40.
The contents of the station data file 25 stored in the data processing device 20 are downloaded to the memory in the electronic exchange 10 by controlling the monitor software 16 in the electronic exchange 10 via the.

Next, the call processing procedure file collection timing is interpreted, the call processing automatic test system 21 is started, and the bus between the central processing unit 11 and the communication channel unit 12 in the electronic exchange 10 is activated via the interface unit 30. A call processing test procedure file 24 stored in the data processing device 20
The signal on the internal bus 13 is transmitted. That is, a series of test procedures of station data setting and call processing test are performed on the way to the maintenance terminal 1
It can be executed automatically without manual station data setting work using 7.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, the station data is set in the central processing unit, and the call processing information is set between the communication path unit and the central processing unit to execute the automatic test. It is possible to provide an automatic test device for an electronic exchange capable of efficiently performing a wide variety of tests by executing unattended continuous tests.
