The Design And Implementation Of Automation Testing Tool In VoIP Phone System

Cisco Systems Inc.’s VoIP telephones have many types and complex features. The test of them will consume a lot of time and money. In that case, ATT will make the testing work a lot easier.In this thesis, the ATT will be described based on the system background above. ATT is an automation testing tool used to manage the testing scripts and optimize the progress of automation testing on VoIP phones. The background of automation testing, particularly the life cycle of automation testing, the pros and cons of automation testing, and the FDF framework used in ATT is described at the very beginning. Some technical skills used in ATT are also introduced which is B/S pattern, Perl, JavaScript and Mongo DB.The paper then details the background knowledge of VoIP phone systems, including VoIP phone system network environment, system architecture, internal module structure and main features. Also according to the particularity of the VoIP telephone system, the ATT system requirements is given by the author, as well as the automation progress, automation principles and an example to illustrate the automation testing on VoIP system.This paper focuses on the ATT system design and key implementation. First it introduces the ATT system’s overall design, then gives the ATT system test process design and process of manually execution of the automation scripts as comparison. Then it introduces the ATT database design based on the non-relational database, and feature design. The main features are:test script management, the script job management, the management of test suites, test bed’s information management. Also it illustrates the key implementation of the ATT system by Perl, such as script job management and the generation of configuration file.Finally, this paper summarizes the work of the project, and a prospect iss made on automatically choosing test bed and sharing ATT system with vendors.
