Abstract
A method for an operator to test tariff and/or billing configurations using a computer based system, the method being effected by a user interface, said method including the steps of creating through said computer based system one or more accounts from a selection of a first set of options by the operator from the user interface, allocating a service or services to each account from a selection of a second set of options by the operator from the user interface said allocated services being assigned to said accounts by said computer based system, and adding at least one package or component to each account from a selection of a third set of options by the operator from the user interface said packages or components services being assigned to said accounts by said computer based system.

2. A computer-implemented method executed using one or more processing devices, the method comprising:
-
receiving data specifying a proposed billing plan for users of telecommunications services; receiving data specifying a type, a quantity, and attributes of simulated user accounts to generate, then generating, in bulk, the specified type and quantity of simulated user accounts that have the specified attributes; receiving data identifying the telecommunications services to be attached to each of the simulated user accounts, then attaching the identified telecommunications services to each of the simulated user accounts; receiving data identifying telecommunications units to be added to one or more of the telecommunications services that are attached to each of the simulated user accounts, then adding the telecommunications units to the one or more of the telecommunications services that are attached to each of the simulated user accounts; receiving data identifying pre-defined, dummy usage data, then applying portions of the dummy usage data to each of the simulated user accounts; after applying the portions of the dummy usage data to each of the simulated user accounts, receiving data indicative of an instruction selected by an operator to test the proposed billing plan on the simulated user accounts, then testing the proposed billing plan on the simulated user accounts; and generating, based on results of the testing of the proposed billing plan on the simulated user accounts, a respective test bill for each simulated user account. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A system comprising:
-
one or more computers; and a computer-readable medium coupled to the one or more computers having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising; receiving data specifying a proposed billing plan for users of telecommunications services; receiving data specifying a type, a quantity, and attributes of simulated user accounts to generate, then generating, in bulk, the specified type and quantity of simulated user accounts that have the specified attributes; receiving data identifying the telecommunications services to be attached to each of the simulated user accounts, then attaching the identified telecommunications services to each of the simulated user accounts; receiving data identifying telecommunications units to be added to one or more of the telecommunications services that are attached to each of the simulated user accounts, then adding the telecommunications units to the one or more of the telecommunications services that are attached to each of the simulated user accounts; receiving data identifying pre-defined, dummy usage data, then applying portions of the dummy usage data to each of the simulated user accounts; after applying the portions of the dummy usage data to each of the simulated user accounts, receiving data indicative of an instruction selected by an operator to test the proposed billing plan on the simulated user accounts, then testing the proposed billing plan on the simulated user accounts; and generating, based on results of the testing of the proposed billing plan on the simulated user accounts, a respective test bill for each simulated user account. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
