Abstract

A method for performing a real time testing of a mobility device located at a remote location using a test framework communicatively coupled with the mobility device by means of either a TCP/IP protocol or a UDP protocol, and configured to execute a client application is provided. A server application receives a remote command is received from the client application, for retrieving a test information. The test information is generated by communicating with an operating system of the mobility device, in response to the remote command. The test information includes information related to the operating system, the server application, and screenshot of a region of interest area on a display unit of the mobility device. The test information is compressed using a custom compressor, and is sent to the client application. Further, tests are performed by a test system based on the received test information from the test framework.

Claims

1. A method for performing a real time testing of a mobility device located at a remote location using a test framework communicatively coupled with the mobility device by means of either a TCP/IP protocol or a UDP protocol, and configured to execute a client application, the method comprising:

receiving a remote command from the client application, by a server application running on the mobility device, for retrieving a test information, wherein the remote command is received over either the TCP/IP protocol or the UDP protocol;

generating, by the server application, the test information by communicating with an operating system of the mobility device, in response to the received remote command, wherein the test information comprises at least one of an information related to the operating system, an information related to the server application, and a screenshot of a region of interest area on a display unit of the mobility device;

compressing the test information using a custom compressor running on the mobility device;

sending, by the server application, the compressed test information to the client application, wherein the compressed test information is sent over either the TCP/IP protocol or the UDP protocol; and

performing at least one test, by a test system, based on the test information, wherein the test system is configured to receive the test information from the test framework.
