Abstract: A unique method/device for isolating the over-the-air segment within a mobile communications network is provided. A coordinated set of tests is run to isolate problems in an end-to-end network including over-the-air segment, wired, and core network segments. Test results are compared to identify which segment or components within a segment is failing. The testing device executes the same test in two differentiated modes. In one mode, the device acts as a mobile client device identified by subscriber identification data that communicates with the network base station over-the-air using the standard control and data protocols of the mobile network. In another mode, the testing device, identified by the same subscriber identification data, acts like the combination of the same Mobile Client Device(s) and a Network Base Station using a wired interface that is equivalent to the wired interface that connects the network base station to the rest of the wired network.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for creating test and testing a plurality of touchscreen devices are described. The methods comprise creating a test script by recording the touch events performed on a touchscreen device by a technician. The method of recording touch events for later use as a test script is faster and requires less programming knowledge, compared to manually writing a test script. This is beneficial if a new test script is needed quickly because a technician can perform a desired touch sequence on a device recording the sequence and then distribute the recorded sequence to be played on a plurality of devices to be tested. The recorded sequence may include a plurality of sequential touch events. Additionally, the recorded sequence may include conditional statements used to determining the timing of simulating one of the touch events in the sequence.

An embedded expert system can guide an inexperienced operator through the process of evaluating and resolving problems with a home network with little operator input.

Abstract: The technology disclosed enables understanding the user experience of accessing a web page under high loads. A testing system generates a simulated load by retrieving and loading a single web object. A performance snapshot is taken of accessing an entire web page from the server under load. The performance snapshot may be performed by emulating a browser accessing a web page's URL, the web page comprising multiple objects that are independently retrieved and loaded. The simulated load is configured with a number of users per region of the world where the user load will originate, and a single object from the web page to retrieve. Performance data such as response time for the single object retrieved, number of hits per second, number of timeouts per sec, and errors per second may be recorded and reported. An optimal number of users may be determined to achieve a target user experience goal.

Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to systems and methods for testing adaptive antennas via a multi-probe anechoic chamber, which includes the emulation of real world conditions of a radio frequency (RF) signal reaching a device-under-test (DUT). The technology disclosed can be applied to test and evaluate a range of changed conditions. In one case, beamforming scenarios use separate spatial desired and interference signals, and the results can be compared to uniform interference. Based on performance for a segment of a test profile, the segment can be modified or expanded: shortened, repeated, or repeated with a modification—to fully evaluate the aspect being tested. Also, a dynamic profile that is utilized to evaluate a first device can be saved and repeated as a fixed profile for further testing of a first or second device.

Abstract: A utilization test generates the multiple dimensions of resource load on the first computer, the multiple dimensions including at least two of: a processor utilization dimension, a main memory utilization dimension, a mass storage utilization dimension, and a network utilization dimension. The utilization test performs iterations of attempts to generate said each dimension of the resource load on the first computer, in an amount equal to a changeable target utilization of said each dimension of the resource load on the first computer. The utilization test adjusts the adjusted utilization to attempt to correct for inequality between (i) the actual utilization of a particular one of the multiple dimensions of the resource load on the first computer, and (ii) the changeable target utilization of the particular one of the multiple dimensions of the resource load on the first computer.

Abstract: The technology disclosed enables the automatic definition of monitoring alerts for a web page across a plurality of variables such as server response time, server CPU load, network bandwidth utilization, response time from a measured client, network latency, server memory utilization, and the number of simultaneous sessions, amongst others. This is accomplished through the combination of load or resource loading and performance snapshots, where performance correlations allow for the alignment of operating variables. Performance data such as response time for the objects retrieved, number of hits per second, number of timeouts per sec, and errors per second can be recorded and reported. This allows for the automated ranking of tens of thousands of web pages, with an analysis of the web page assets that affect performance, and the automatic alignment of performance alerts by resource participation.

Abstract: A system and method for providing assisted manual testing of computer related devices. Test commands are routed from a user system through a proxy module to a device under test. The responses of the device are routed through the proxy module to a user system. A user interface is run on the user system that allows the user to view the responses of the device in a log with the issued test commands. The user interface includes annotation dialog boxes and fields, highlighting elements and flagging elements through which a user can annotate and create notes for the test log as the test is being run on the device. Through the proxy module, a third party can act as a user and view the test log and user created annotations and notes as the test is being run on the device. The test log, annotation and notes can also be stored by the proxy module so that a third party can view them at a later time.
