Paul Stapleton and Bereket Z. Gichamo will present their master's thesis:
Creating a Test Adapter Based on a Universal Testing Interface
Abstract:
In the mobile phone industry, as mobile platforms gain more and more
functionality, and work with different operating systems there is a
demand to have a single common interface which can be used when testing.
In the past, standardized AT commands have been used to test the network
functionality across a range of different mobile platforms. However,
this is not sufficient for today’s mobile platforms.
This thesis was undertaken at ST-Ericsson and examines the use of
standardized testing interfaces and in particular a recommendation from
the OMTP, called the Harmonized Test Interface (HTI). This interface
allows potentially all functionality on the platform to be executed
using commands sent over a special protocol, and is primarily designed
for testing the device.
This thesis presents a prototype of the HTI specification and an
additional SOAP layer above it. The prototype includes an implementation
of a number of HTI commands. Various test cases were written and used to
examine the HTI specification, test case development time and possible
test environments using the HTI system. This thesis found that the HTI
recommendation had the potential to replace all existing test cases and
could be compatible with the existing test environment at ST-Ericsson.
It could be easily implemented, but some areas required greater
specification; in particular resource and event handling. Improvements
to the specification to address these problems were made and implemented
in the prototype.
