LMT Automation and Functional Testing of Dispatch Application Processor

Abstract

In today's business environment, project teams are expected to do more and deliver higher quality systems in lesser time with fewer resources. It is known that software testers, more often than not, lack the time needed to fully test the delivered software product within the time period allotted to them. As a result, testers either need to work longer hours, or supplemen- tary resources need to be added to the test team in order to meet aggressive test deadlines. One solution to this problem is to provide testers with a test automation framework to facilitate the development of automated test solutions. Automated software testing is the best way to increase the e ec- tiveness, e ciency and coverage of our software testing. As a part of box testing we are required to test the internal features and functionalities of Dispatch Application Processor manually through local maintenance termi- nal which takes a lot of time, on the other hand automating this terminal will save our time. Di erent network elements are going to be tested in Motorola. So, as a part of box testing, Dispatch Application Processor (DAP) has been tested with the testing tool CTHA. Di erent scripting languages have been used for test- ing the DAP. Whole iDEN system has been also tested using the di erent testing tools.
