Minimizing Human Intervention and Developing a Method for Build Integration Management and Automation Framework with System Simulator in User Equipment Testing for Intel Mobile Modem Platform

Abstract

Effecient automatic build generation process contributes much towards the growth and success of organization for "system software development" and saves maximum human efforts and guaranties the success. Simple build procedure contains steps like compilation of objects, archiving to libraries, linking, ash file generation for hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly of Software Releases (SW).The main goal of this project is to industrialize the entire build generation procedure and save man hours in organization for various projects in a manufacturing organization. The study focused on understanding the extent to build generation procedure and provide correct view of required task to project build manager and build release manager by valuable reports. Second part of thesis includes Automation framework with system simulator in user equipment testing contributes towards the success of testing in analyzing network behavior and quality mobile platform and products. Automation Framework provides the Test Suite Specific Configuration, Core dump detection and tracing with in-house tracing tools, etc. for mobile modem. System simulator like Anite is Wireless testing technology for network performance and better mobile devices. Anite Test Network Simulator provides various capabilities to use as Conformance, Carrier Acceptance Test Scenario development. These systems include test coverage of 2G, 3G and LTE for the device approval schemes. Using these systems by integrating with the user equipment existing in the organization, allows many in-house tools for tracing too. Anite Test Network Simulator works on Remote Control Message Interface server. This server controls the Anite Application for starting/ending the test cases. So remotely it can be accessed from remote system using TCP/ IP connection. To facilitate advantages of these systems framework will be implemented making it very interactive and testable more effectively.
