Measuring device and measuring method for efficiently processing measuring results

An apparatus for performing one or more of a protocol test and a conformance test of a device under test, the apparatus comprising:

• one or more processors, a memory and a measuring device;
• and
• wherein the one or more processors is/are configured to control the measuring device to perform measurements of the device under test, for the one or more of the protocol test and the conformance test, by generating and transmitting one or more signaling messages to the device under test and receiving responsive measurement results from the device under test, wherein the measurement results comprise one or more messages;
• wherein the one or more processors is/are configured to control the memory to store the signaling messages and the measurement results in a single binary storage file, wherein the signaling messages and the measurement results are each stored in the single binary storage file at a time that the signaling messages and the measurement results respectively come into existence;
• wherein the signaling messages and the measurement results are stored in the single binary storage file via a log server, where the log server prevents data loss in the event of a test case crash;
• wherein the one or more processors is/are further configured to search the single binary storage file for at least one first measurement result based on at least one first user-selectable criteria, and to generate an output file comprising only the at least one first measurement result, and
• wherein the one or more processors is/are further configured to control the memory to store one or more of operations and status information, relating to the one or more of the protocol test and the conformance test, in the single binary storage file.
