Further, for the registration message, if the registration message carries a preset terminal serial number (that is, a case where the preset serial number is registered), the terminal serial number is stored; if the terminal sequence is not carried The number (that is, the case where the M2M test platform is requested to register) is configured to query the terminal serial number in the test instance corresponding to the IMEI, and return it to the terminal as the assigned terminal serial number to complete the terminal registration. After the test is completed, the method further includes: the administrator evaluates the test result, or 4, according to the test result returned by the M2M terminal. Specifically, it is: After the M2M terminal completes a test case test, the administrator can select the M2M terminal to score and/or record the comment according to the test situation. If the administrator chooses not to score the terminal, the system will give 10 points (meaning the test is successful) or 0 points (indicating the test failure) according to whether the test result is satisfied. After completing a test of a use case, the next use case test can be performed, or the test can be ended. Finally, the test scores of all the test cases of the same M2M terminal are stored, or a comprehensive evaluation score is given according to a preset algorithm, and the preset algorithm may be averaging, or weighted averaging, and the like. It should be noted that if the M2M terminal sends the test result to the M2M test platform, the M2M test platform judges whether it is correct according to the test result, and gives a score of 10 (indicating that the test is successful) or 0 (indicating the test). Assessment of failure). Embodiment 1 The following describes a specific method for testing an M2M terminal by using the M2M test platform of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a flowchart for implementing the M2M terminal test according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
