1. A testing device in a cellular radio system comprising:
- at least one terminal and a network element which comprises a data network having a system controller, the data network being arranged to transmit the data required by the network element of the radio system;
at least one base station;
at least one base station controller, the at least one base station being operationally connected to the base station controller, and the base station controller being arranged to control the at least one base station; and
a testing device which is a fixed part of the cellular radio system, the testing device being operationally connected to the data network, and the testing device being arranged to be in contact over radio path to one or more base stations; and
the radio system is arranged to examine the operational condition of the cellular radio system by means of the testing device by utilising the data network and the radio connection of the testing device to at least one base station such that the testing device is configured to establish a connection over radio path with at least one base station using decreasing transmission power for monitoring the sensitivity and operational condition of the receiver of the base station.

Abstract
The invention relates to a testing device and a software. The cellular radio system comprises a testing device which is a fixed part of the cellular radio system and operationally connected to a data network. The testing device has a connection over radio path to one or more base stations, and the operational condition of the cellular radio system is examined by means of the testing device by utilising the radio connection of the testing device to at least one base station. In addition, the data network is utilized.
