Design And Implementation Of The Automatic Tool For Mobile Terminal Testing

Software testing is very important in the whole software development process. It is animportant way to ensure software quality. In order to ensure software quality andreliability, the goal of software testing is to find as many errors as possible in a shorttime. It is well known that software testing requires lots of workload and resources, andlots of testing operations are repetitive; automatic testing tool can be applied to solvethis problem.Test server is an automatic testing tool which is based on mobile terminal. The toolconsists of mobile terminal and PC software. The connection between them is TSprotocol. This dissertation firstly introduces the architecture and framework of TS, thenit analyzes and designes COM communication, TS protocol, TS Sequencer, COL andother modules, as well as implementes Bluetooth, TS Sequencer, test results and reportsmodules. The COL implementation by three layer model enables tester to design testscripts rapidly. Finally it explains how to implement automation testing in a mobileterminal project and how to solve problems in automation testing.Now TS has been applied in testing projects (mainly performance testing and pressuretesting), it can replace manual testing to solve some special problems, such ascontinuously working for one week or respectively executing one operation1000times.Compared with manual test, TS can save50%on resource case and increase more than30%on test efficiency. It is proven that it can reduce development cost. At the sametime test scripts are written and debugged according to test cases, so the reliability andusefulness have been confirmed by developers and testers.
