Overview
The Valid8 MCX Conformance Test Suites are suitable for testing compliance to standards for MC-PTT, MC-Video, MC-Data protocols and interfaces in the MCX domain
What It Can Do For You
The Conformance solution is capable of simulating and testing various different devices:
It can simulate
- Server
- Client
- IWF (P25)
It can test
- Client
- Server
- IWF
Why It’s Different
- Scalable software-based architecture can run on a range of hardware from COTS and high-end customer provided hardware to Virtual Machines and the Cloud (e.g. Amazon AWS) for maximum versatility and performance
- Web-based UI is easy to learn
- HTTP API enable integration with automation test systems and other equipment
- Stateful modeling provides accurate emulation of network elements
Features
- Pre-made test scenarios and procedures
- PASS / FAIL analysis, including plain English diagnostic reason
- Valid / Invalid testing
- Customizable source-code
- User-configurable proprietary messages, IEs, headers
- Animated test results action-replay
- Easy to configure
- Automatic execution of test batches
- UDP, TCP, SCTP transport layer IPv4/IPv6 support
- Suitable for Development and QA test lab environments, verifying protocol compliance, negative and robustness testing, Regression testing and Reproducing customer issues in the field
Subsystems
KPIs
- Test Verdict - Pass, Fail or Inconclusive
- Detailed message field validation
Configurable Parameters
- IP address and port
- Network layer- IPv4 / IPv6
- Transport layer- UDP / TCP / SCTP / TLS
- Phone numbers
- Authentication - username and password
- Unexpected message handling - Stop / Continue
Automation API
User commands can be fully automated using REST API. This includes performing all test control functions as well as collecting results and metrics. It can be integrated into virtually any CI system via the HTTP API, including Jenkins, CircleCI, Gitlab and others. Includes Autom8 Python framework.
Scripting
The application’s subsystems can be edited directly in the browser using TDL or by using the graphical tools. The Message Workshop allows for creating of test scenarios directly from the hex stream of a remote capture, while the Composer graphical editor (on the feature roadmap for 1Q 2020) will allow for creating customized call scenarios by dragging and dropping the call flow to meet your test needs.
Use Cases
UE Phone Under Test
For testing phones that have cellular data capability, the 5G 4G 3G Base Station Emulators can provide OTA testing capability through its built-in base station and core network emulator. It enables end-to-end testing.
Supported Scenarios:
Supports scenarios:
- Power on
- Attach
- Detach
- TAU
- Data Connection
Some of the key capabilities introduced with the M5 Mobile UE Tester Include:
- Lower Cost Per Test
- Increased Test Environment Flexibility
