MOBILE DEVICE TEST INFRASTRUCTURE
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- at least one mobile device test module, wherein the mobile device test module comprises an individual mobile device and at least one instance of processing circuitry communicatively coupled to the mobile device, and wherein the at least one mobile device test module is configured to enable testing of at least one mobile device program of instruction, received from a remotely-located user via a communication network, on the individual mobile device via a device communication link established between the at least one instance of processing circuitry and the individual mobile device; and
a test module chassis comprising a slot space configured to receive the at least one mobile device test module into the slot space to communicatively couple the at least one instance of processing circuitry with the communication network;
wherein the at least one instance of processing circuitry is configured to generate a command signal which, when communicated to the mobile device via the established device communication link, causes the mobile device to execute the at least one mobile device program of instructions, based at least in part upon a command received from the remotely-located user via the communication network.

Abstract
A mobile device test module enables a remote client to execute client-developed mobile device applications on a mobile device, via a communication network, to test application performance on the mobile device. The module includes a host compute board which establishes a device communication link, which can include a wireless link, with a mobile device mounted in the module and generates commands to the mobile device based on signals received at the board. The module restricts the host compute board and mobile device to device communication links between each other. The module housing can restrict device communication links with devices external to the module. The module can be installed in a slot of a chassis which can provide structural, power, and communication support to the module. The chassis includes interface clusters which each can support various modules installed in the slots and can support redundant links with an installed module.
