Abstract: An integrated web-based system for performing telecommunications system testing includes an application server that includes a plurality of test applications. The application server provides a graphical user interface to a plurality of workstation clients. Users can launch tests and monitor test results at the workstation clients. The test are performed by a plurality of telecommunications system test devices. The test devices include such devices as protocol analyzers, bit error rate testers, sniffers, and the like. A test access server provides an interface or bridge between the application server and each of the test devices. The test access server routes and provides appropriate translation of messages and commands between the test devices and the application process server.

Abstract: A computer testing system, method, and computer program product is provided for testing one or more digital cross connect devices (DXCs) with one or more test and monitoring units (TMUs). A DXC test tool is coupled to each DXC and to each TMU. The DXC test tool sends a logical command or query to a DXC. A TMU tests the physical presence of the logical command directed to the DXC. The TMU sends a response to the DXC test tool indicating the state of the physical component. In this way, the DXC test tool tests each DXC in physical and logical dimensions. The DXC test tool can communicate over a plurality of communication links including fast channel links, human readable links, and remote control links. Routers are used to expand capacity. A single message display option for selecting between sending ASCII messages and sending binary messages. By connecting the DXC test tool to multiple DXCs, end-to-end path testing in physical and logical dimensions is performed.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product is provided for script processing. A new script language and script processing is used to significantly reduce the number of lines required for a script. A script includes a global script segment associated with a script data segment. The global script segment includes global directives (automatic directives and script repeating directives). The script data segment includes command records. Automatic directives are interpreted and repeatedly executed until script processing is complete. Automatic directives can be selectively activated and de-activated by a user. Script repeating directives repeat processing of the script data segment until the script repeating directive is satisfied. A command record includes an operation name field identifying a particular command and one or more operand fields. The operand fields can include single values, a range of values, or substitution codes.
