Assessment module for diagnostic testing of mobile devices

Abstract

An assessment module for evaluating a mobile device. The assessment module comprises an enclosure arranged to receive the mobile device to be assessed within a cavity defined by the enclosure, the enclosure housing at least one sensor arranged within the cavity. The assessment module further comprises a processor and memory. The memory stores computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the assessment module to perform certain steps. In a first step, the assessment module establishes a data connection with the mobile device, the data connection for exchange of data between the mobile device and the assessment module. A further step requires obtaining an outcome of one or more diagnostic test on the mobile device, each of the one or more diagnostic test for obtaining information on a characteristic of the mobile device or on the performance of a function of the mobile device. Another step comprises generating a report providing an evaluation of the mobile device based on the results of the one or more diagnostic test, for output to a user of the assessment module. The assessment module is further caused to receive, from the mobile device via the data connection, the outcome of one or more diagnostic test, and/or to obtain from the at least one sensor the outcome of one or more diagnostic test.
