Automated system and method of testing a facsimile machine

A system for testing a device, the system comprising:

• a computer connected to the device, the computer configured to input a test sequence, to translate the test sequence into at least one device instruction, to transmit, from the computer to the device, the at least one device instruction, to receive, from the device, at least one of
• at least one test condition of testing the device, and
• at least one result of testing the device, and to log the at least one of the at least one test condition and the at least one result so as to generate a bug report for debugging the device prior to shipment of the device to a marketplace,
• wherein each one of the at least one test condition comprises at least one of a value indicating a secure communication protocol and a value indicating a compression, and
• wherein the at least one result indicates whether or not testing of the secure communication protocol and the compression passed or failed.

A computer program product including a computer readable medium embodying program instructions thereon for causing a system to perform a method of testing a device which has a connection to a computer, the method comprising the steps of:

• inputting, to the computer, a test sequence;
• translating, by the computer, the test sequence into at least one device instruction;
• transmitting, from the computer to the device, the at least one device instruction;
• receiving, by the computer from the device, at least one of
• at least one test condition of testing the device, and
• at least one result of testing the device;
• and
• logging, by the computer, the at least one of the at least one test condition and the at least one result so as to generate a bug report for debugging the device prior to shipment of the device to a marketplace,
• wherein each one of the at least one test condition comprises at least one of a value indicating a secure communication protocol and a value indicating a compression and
• wherein the at least one result indicates whether or not testing of the secure communication protocol and the compression passed or failed.
