Abstract
A system for automatically testing a telecommunications platform comprises an application file and a telecommunications platform (TP) testing program. The application file has at least one data line corresponding to an application resident on the telecommunications platform. The telecommunications platform (TP) testing program is operable to access the application file, to invoke at least one utility program for checking the application, and to compare result information generated by the utility program against the data line of the application file.
Claims13
A system for automatically testing a telecommunications platform, comprising:
- a pattern file having at least one data line corresponding to a particular one of a plurality of applications resident on the telecommunications platform;
- at least one utility program operable to check operation of the particular one of the plurality of applications, the pattern file being associated with the at least one utility program;
- a telecommunications platform testing program operable to access the pattern file, to invoke the at least one utility program to check a particular function of the particular one of the plurality of applications, and to compare result information generated by the utility program against the data line of the pattern file in order to determine whether the particular function of the particular one of the plurality of applications is operating properly.
A system for automatically testing a telecommunications platform, comprising:
- a pattern file having at least one data line corresponding to a particular function of a particular one of a plurality of applications resident on the telecommunications platform, wherein the data line is predefined to be substantially similar to a result line indicating that the particular function of the particular one of the plurality of applications is operating properly;
- a utility program operable to check operation of the particular function of the particular one of the plurality of applications, the pattern file being associated with the at least one utility program;
- a telecommunications platform testing program operable to access the pattern file, to invoke the utility program for checking the particular function of the particular one of the plurality of applications, to compare result information generated by the utility program against the predefined data line of the pattern file, and to notify a user if the predefined data line of the pattern file does not match any result line within the result information.
A method for automatically testing a telecommunications platform, comprising the steps of:
- invoking a utility program for checking a particular function of a particular one of a plurality of applications resident on the telecommunications platform;
- receiving result information generated by the utility program, the result information comprising at least one result line;
- accessing a pattern file having at least one data line corresponding to the particular function of the particular one of the plurality of applications;
- and
- comparing the received result information against the data line of the pattern file in order to determine whether the particular function of the particular one of the plurality of applications is operating properly.
