iDEN™ Phones Automated Stress Testing

System testing is actually done to the entire system against the Functional Requirement Specification and/or the System Requirement Specification. Moreover, it is an investigatory testing phase, where the focus is to have almost a destructive attitude and test not only the design, but also the behavior and even the believed expectations of the customer. It is also intended to test up to and beyond the bounds defined in the software/hardware requirements specifications. In Motorola (R), Automated Testing is one of the testing methodologies uses by GSG-iSGT (Global Software Group - iDEN (TM) Subcriber Group-Test) to increase the testing volume, productivity and reduce test cycle-time in iDEN (TM) phones testing. Testing is able to produce more robust products before release to the market. In this paper, iHopper is proposed as a tool to perform stress test on iDEN (TM) phonse. We will discuss the value that automation has brought to iDEN (TM) Phone testing such as improving software quality in the iDEN (TM) phone together with some metrics. We will also look into the advantages of the proposed system and some discussion of the future work as well.
