Automated code generating translator for testing telecommunication system devices and method
First Claim
1. In a system for testing a communication network component connected to a computer controlled apparatus, the communication network component and the computer controlled apparatus each being connected to a data link, a method of automatically simulating telephonic communication with the communication network component comprising the steps of:
- providing a device communication specification at the computer controlled apparatus;
sending the device communication specification to a translator device at the computer controlled apparatus;
automatically parsing the device communication specification to enable development of test tools for the simulation of telephonic communication between the computer controlled apparatus and the communication network component; and
automatically generating test tools for use in testing the communication network component.

Abstract
A system for testing a communication network component connected to a computer controlled apparatus via a data link in which the system automatically simulates telephonic communication with the communication network component. Device communication specification information is sent to a translator device at the computer controlled apparatus which automatically parses the received device communication specification to enable development of test tools for the simulation of telephonic communication between the computer controlled apparatus and the communication network component employed as a system under test. The translator in response to receipt of the device communication specification automatically generates a computer software based model to simulate a network entity, test scripts, and user documentation guide.

11. A system for testing a communication network component connected to a computer controlled apparatus, the communication network component and the computer controlled apparatus being connected to a data link comprising:
-
a memory device for storing a device communication specification; a translator device at the computer controlled apparatus having an input for receipt of the device communication specification in which the translator device automatically parses the device communication specification to enable development of test tools for the simulation of telephonic communication between the computer controlled apparatus and the communication network component; and means at the translator for automatically generating test tools for use in testing the communication network component. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
