Abstract: A master test system may comprise cable modem termination systems, resource servers, provisioning/Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) servers, call management system (CMS) servers, Data over Cable Service Interface Specification/Wide Area Network (DOCSIS/WAN) servers, test controller servers, etc. Servers on the master test system may facilitate tests of devices under test (DUTs) coupled to the master test system. Servers on the master test system and/or slave test systems may facilitate tests of DUTs coupled to slave test systems that are coupled to the master test system. The slave test system(s) may comprise resource servers and test controller servers. In various implementations, the servers on the slave test system(s) may facilitate tests of DUTs coupled to the slave test system(s).

Abstract: A test system for testing a plurality of end-user devices. A controller performs pre-provision verification, provisioning, and post-provision testing. Pre-provision verification can be performed on a subset of end-user devices while others are bring provisioned.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a machine architecture implementing a staging automation process, including features such as multiple IR transmitters and composite video inputs for automated high volume quality testing. Diagnostic display outputs from a unit under test are input to OCR and video quality algorithms to validate that the units under test are ready for a functional test process at the next stage.

Abstract: A testing system that provides a separate set of virtualization container probes for each of at least a subset of devices that is under testing can perform Wifi Layer 2 and Wifi Layer 3 tests in a manner that minimizes or avoids wireless interference is disclosed.

Abstract: A method of power signal detection of set top boxes under test is disclosed. According to certain embodiments, detection of a failure mode of a set top box (STB) under test is based on video signal detection where the video signal is associated with multiple video output types and AC power outlet signal detection.

Abstract: A system may include a master test system and a plurality of slave test systems coupled to the master test system and/or each other. The system may include devices under test (DUTs) (also referred to herein as units under test (UUTs)) stored in test slots and coupled to the master test system or specific slave test systems over Ethernet, coaxial, or other cables. Each test slot may include a Faraday cage that shields the contents therein from electromagnetic signals outside the test slot. The master test system and/or the slave test systems may test the DUTs using specific sequences of tests according to testing protocols relevant to those DUTs. One or more test controllers, mobile devices, display devices, and/or input devices may be coupled to the test systems and be used to control specific test protocols performed by the test systems.

Abstract: A method and system for generating and obtaining reliable core dump from a multiple partitioned platform is described. The method generated a system core dump by a first operating system in a first partition, in response to detecting a predetermined event. The core dump may be stored in a shared memory accessible to a plurality of operating systems. An interrupt is sent when a core dump is generated. Upon a detection of the interrupt, the core dump may be accessed by a second operating system in a second partition for analysis. Other embodiments of inventions are described in the claims.
