Abstract

A method for testing a handheld electronic device installed with an open operating platform including a first testing instruction and a second testing instruction includes sending the first testing instruction to the handheld electronic device to switch the handheld electronic device from a high power consumption state to a low power consumption state; sending the second testing instruction to the handheld electronic device to switch the handheld electronic device from the low power consumption state to the high power consumption state; and executing the first testing instruction and the second testing instruction repeatedly in a loop based on a predetermined test duration and test count, such that tests performed on the handheld electronic device are precise and stable.

Claims

1. A method for testing a handheld electronic device, applied to the handheld electronic device installed with an open operating platform, a first testing instruction and second testing instruction, comprising the steps of:

(a) sending the first testing instruction to the handheld electronic device to switch the handheld electronic device from a high power consumption state to a low power consumption state;

(b) sending the second testing instruction to the handheld electronic device to switch the handheld electronic device from the low power consumption state back to the high power consumption state, after a predetermined wait time;

(c) executing the steps (a) and (b) repeatedly in a loop based on a predetermined test count, and generating a test result after the steps (a) and (b) are completed; and

(d) outputting the test result.

2. The method for testing a handheld electronic device as recited in claim 1, wherein the low power consumption state is a pause/sleep state of the handheld electronic device, and the high power consumption state is an operating/wakeup state of the handheld electronic device.

3. The method for testing a handheld electronic device as recited in claim 2, wherein the step (a) further comprises the steps of generating a first erroneous result and interrupting the steps (b) and (c), and output the test result including the first erroneous result in the step (d), if the handheld electronic device fails to switch from the high power consumption state to the low power consumption state.

4. The method for testing a handheld electronic device as recited in claim 2, wherein the step (b) further comprises the steps of generating a second erroneous result and interrupting the step (c) and outputting the test result including the second erroneous result in the step (d) if the handheld electronic device fails to switch from the low power consumption state back to the high power consumption state.

5. The method for testing a handheld electronic device as recited in claim 2, wherein the predetermined wait time falls within a range of 2˜

3 seconds.

6. The method for testing a handheld electronic device as recited in claim 5, wherein the predetermined test count falls within a range of 4900˜

5100 times.

7. The method for testing a handheld electronic device as recited in claim 6, wherein the open operating platform is an Android operating platform.
