UE Functional Test Suite
Suite of feature tests to verify the UE device
Suite of feature tests to verify the UE device
Overview
The Valid8 UE Test Suite is suitable for testing a variety of features on the UE device including attach/detach, session establishment, IPv4/6, throughput, mission critical (MCX), flood messages, authentication, SMS, emergency attach, location, power-level, and mobility. It runs in conjunction with M5 UE Tester (required).
What It Can Do For You
The test suite works with UE Tester is capable of simulating and testing various different devices including:
- Phone
- CPE
- Modem
- IoT
It invokes Simul8 to automate the following:
- Configures and starts the UE Tester
- Interacts with the UE Tester programs to set/override the mode as required by the test case
- Triggers the UE (DUT) via AT commands to initiate the necessary procedure or activate the required feature as required by the test case
- Queries and display the result on the UI and report
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
