Abstract
A method for automatically verifying provisioning of a telephony database includes receiving from the telephony database a first table structure for a first table within the telephony database and automatically generating, based on the first table structure, a test provisioning message operable to provision a table having the first table structure. The method also includes automatically generating an expected response to the test provisioning message and transmitting the test provisioning message. The method further includes receiving an actual response to the test provisioning message, comparing the actual response to the expected response, and generating a result based on comparing the actual response to the expected response.
Claims20
A method for verifying provisioning of a telephony database, comprising:
- receiving from the telephony database a first table structure of a first table within the telephony database, the telephony database comprising a plurality of tables, each table associated with a telephony service and having a table structure;
- generating a plurality of test messages and expected responses for testing provisioning of the first table within the telephony database, the test messages having a format corresponding to the first table structure;
- transmitting the plurality of test messages for receipt by the database;
- receiving a plurality of actual responses to the plurality of test messages;
- comparing the plurality of actual responses to the plurality of expected responses.
A method for verifying provisioning of a telephony database, comprising:
- establishing a connection link to a database;
- receiving a test message and expected response associated therewith;
- transferring the test message to the database for processing;
- receiving an actual response associated with the test message in response to processing by the database;
- comparing the actual response to the expected response;
- determining whether the database is properly provisioned in response to the comparisons.
A service control point, comprising:
- a database operable to store information pertaining to various services offered to telephony subscribers;
- a verification unit operable to generate a test message and expected response, the verification unit operable to provide the test message to the database, the database operable to generate an actual response according to processing of the test message, the verification unit operable to compare the actual response to the expected response in order to verify provisioning of the database.
