Abstract

Provided are a testing apparatus and method using a test script in a mobile communication terminal. The testing method includes receiving a test scenario to be tested: loading the test script according to the test scenario, performing a test based on the test script; generating a test oracle during the test; and comparing the generated test oracle with the test script to determine test success or failure.

Claims

1. A testing method using a test script in a mobile communication terminal, comprising:

receiving a test scenario to be tested;

loading the test script according to the test scenario;

performing a test based on the test script;

generating a test oracle during the test; and

comparing the generated test oracle with the test script to determine test success or failure.

2. The testing method of claim 1, further comprising, for generating a test log related to the test result.

3. The testing method of claim 1, wherein the test script is one of a test script previously set in a database and a test script generated during the test.

4. The testing method of claim 1, wherein the test oracle is capable of downloading into an external device.

5. The testing method of claim 1, wherein the test scenario and the test script are based on a standard specification.

6. A testing apparatus using a test script in a mobile communication terminal, comprising:

a control unit for controlling a test oracle processing unit to generate a test oracle by performing a test using one of a test script generated during the test and a test script previously set based on a test scenario loaded from a storage unit, and for comparing the generated test oracle with the test script to determine a test result; and

the test oracle processing unit for generating the test oracle, based on instruction and information provided from the control unit, and for generating a test log related to the test result.

7. The testing apparatus of claim 6, wherein the test oracle is capable of downloading into an external device.

8. The testing apparatus of claim 6, wherein the test scenario and the test script are based on a standard specification.

9. The testing apparatus of claim 6, wherein the test script is one of a test script previously set in a database and a test script generated during the test.

10. A Computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for testing using a test script in a mobile communication terminal, comprising;

a first code segment for receiving a test scenario to be tested;

a second code segment for loading the test script according to the test scenario;

a third code segment for performing a test based on the test script;

a fourth code segment for generating a test oracle during the test;

a fifth code segment for comparing the generated test oracle with the test script to determine test success or failure; and

a sixth code segment for generating a test log related to the test result.

11. The computer-readable recording medium of claim 10, wherein the test oracle is capable of downloading into an external, device.

12. The computer-readable recording medium of claim 10, wherein the test scenario and the test script are based on a standard specification.

13. The computer-readable recording medium of claim 10, wherein the test oracle is capable of downloading into an external device.

14. A test system using a test script in a mobile communication terminal, comprising:

a mobile station for generating a test oracle by performing a test using one of a test script generated during the test and a test script previously set based on a test scenario loaded from a storage unit, for comparing the generated test oracle with the test script to determine a test result and for generating a test log related to the test result; and

a base station for communicating with the mobile station and providing the mobile station with an interface for Mobile Switching Center(MSC).

15. The test system of claim 14, wherein the test oracle is capable of downloading into an external device.

16. The test system of claim 14, wherein the test scenario and the test script are based on a standard specification.

17. The test system of claim 14, wherein the test script is one of a test script previously set in a database and a test script generated during the test.
