System, method and device for testing mobile telephone call performance

摘要

A system and method of testing call performance of a plurality of mobile telephones is provided. In one embodiment the method comprises storing in a memory of a test device, data for one or more test scenarios that each comprises associated test parameters for attempting a plurality of telephone calls, causing the mobile telephone to attempt to establish a plurality of telephone calls of the test scenarios, and monitoring the plurality of telephone calls of the mobile telephone to determine test results data. The method further includes attempting and monitoring a plurality of telephone calls of the mobile telephone to determine test results data with one or more remote call servers and outputting the test results data to a remote computer system for processing to determine the number of dropped calls, call set up times, number of calls successfully initiated, number of calls having two way speech, and other data.

主权项

1. A method of testing call performance of one or more mobile telephones, comprising:
storing in a memory data for one or more test scenarios that each comprises a plurality of test parameters for attempting a plurality of telephone calls over a mobile telephone network; causing a first mobile telephone to establish a wireless connection with a test unit over a personal area network, distinct from the mobile telephone network; using the wireless connection over the personal area network, causing the test unit to command the first mobile telephone to attempt to establish a plurality of telephone calls, over the mobile telephone network to one or more answering devices, of the test scenarios in accordance with the test parameters; monitoring data of the plurality of telephone calls by the first mobile telephone including:
data of first times at which telephone calls were dialed by the first mobile telephone;data of second times at which the telephone calls were terminated as reported wirelessly over the personal area network to the test unit by the first mobile telephone;data of third times at which the telephone calls were answered by the one or more answering devices as reported by the one or more answering devices; anddata of fourth times at which the telephone calls were terminated as reported by the one or more answering devices; processing the monitored data of the plurality of telephone calls of the test scenario to evaluate call performance of the first mobile telephone, including whether the first mobile telephone dropped calls by comparing call durations, determined from the monitored data, to scheduled call durations of the telephone calls of the test scenarios; and outputting the call performance evaluation.
