Abstract
An invention is provided for testing telecommunications devices. Broadly speaking, test data is encoded prior to testing a SUT. Then, during testing, the encoded test data is transmitted to the SUT, which processes the test data. The processed test data then is received back from the SUT. The processed test data is decoded in real-time, as opposed to the encoding of the test data, which is performed offline and prior to testing. In addition, a quality of the processed test data is analyzed. Typically, the test data is speech data, which is stored prior to testing the SUT. Optionally, the speech data can be encoded offline using a computer system separate from the testing system.
Claims21
A method for testing telecommunications devices, comprising the operations of:
- encoding test data prior to testing a system under test (SUT);
- transmitting the encoded test data to the SUT, the SUT processing the test data;
- receiving the processed test data from the SUT;
- decoding the processed test data in real-time;
- and
- analyzing a quality of the processed test data,
- wherein the method operation of encoding the test data includes compressing the test data for transmission to the SUT.
A system for testing telecommunication devices, comprising:
- an encoder that encodes test data prior to testing a system under test (SUT), the test data being compressed by the encoder for transmission to the SUT;
- and
- a decoder that decodes processed test data received from the SUT in real-time during testing of the SUT.
A computer program embodied on a computer readable medium for testing telecommunication devices, the computer program comprising:
- an encoder code segment that encodes test data prior to testing a system under test (SUT), the test data being compressed by the encoder code segment for transmission to the SUT;
- and
- a decoder code segment that decodes processed test data received from the SUT in real-time during testing of the SUT.
