Abstract

A testing apparatus for evaluating operations by software installed in a mobile terminal includes a scenario setting unit for setting a scenario including operation information for executing functions that are performed by the mobile terminal, an operation determining unit for determining whether an operation indicated by the operation information included in the scenario is influenced by a device installed in the mobile terminal, an operation target converting unit for converting the operation determined to be influenced by the device installed in the mobile terminal according to the device installed in the mobile terminal, a scenario executing unit for executing the scenario set by the scenario setting unit according to the operation converted by the operation target converting unit, and a scenario execution result determining unit for determining whether an execution result of the scenario executed by the scenario execution unit is the same as a result assumed in advance.

Claims

1. A testing apparatus for evaluating operations by software installed in a mobile terminal, the testing apparatus comprising:

a scenario setting unit configured to set a scenario including operation information for executing functions that are performed by the mobile terminal,

an operation determining unit configured to determine whether an operation indicated by the operation information included in the scenario set by the scenario setting unit is influenced by a device installed in the mobile terminal,

an operation target converting unit configured to convert the operation determined to be influenced by the device installed in the mobile terminal by the operation determining unit in accordance with the device installed in the mobile terminal,

a scenario executing unit configured to execute the scenario set by the scenario setting unit according to the operation converted by the operation target converting unit, and

a scenario execution result determining unit configured to determine whether an execution result of the scenario executed by the scenario execution unit is the same as a result assumed in advance.

2. The testing apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein in the case where at least one of a screen-push operation and a key-press operation is included in the operation indicated by the operation information included in the scenario set by the scenario setting unit, the operation determining unit determines that the operation is influenced by the device installed in the mobile terminal.

3. The testing apparatus as claimed in claim 2, wherein in the case where at least one of the screen-push operation and the key-press operation is included in the operation determined to be influenced by the device installed in the mobile terminal by the operation determining unit, the operation target converting unit calculates a range of coordinates for executing at least one of the screen-push operation and the key-press operation by analyzing information of a screen displayed on the mobile terminal.

4. The testing apparatus as claimed in claim 3, wherein the operation target converting unit analyzes the information of the screen obtained by a function for obtaining the information of the screen, installed in the mobile terminal.

5. The testing apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein in the case where an operation for performing a GPS measurement is included in the operation indicated by the operation information included in the scenario set by the scenario setting unit, the operation determining unit determines that the operation is influenced by the device installed in the mobile terminal.

6. The testing apparatus as claimed in claim 5, wherein in the case where the operation for performing the GPS measurement is included in the operation determined to be influenced by the device installed in the mobile terminal by the operation determining unit, the operation target converting unit converts at least one of a measurement command and a parameter for performing the GPS measurement.

7. The testing apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the scenario includes one or a plurality of the functions to be performed by the mobile terminal.

8. A testing method in a testing apparatus for evaluating operations by software installed in a mobile terminal, the testing method comprising:

a scenario setting step of setting a scenario including operation information for executing functions that are performed by the mobile terminal,

a operation determining step of determining whether an operation indicated by the operation information included in the scenario set by the scenario setting unit is influenced by a device installed in the mobile terminal,

an operation target converting step of converting the operation determined to be influenced by the device installed in the mobile terminal by the operation determining unit in accordance with the device installed in the mobile terminal,

a scenario executing step of executing the scenario set by the scenario setting unit according to the operation converted by the operation target converting unit, and

a scenario execution result determining step of determining whether an execution result of the scenario executed by the scenario execution unit is the same as a result assumed in advance.
