1. A method for evaluating a wireless system comprising the steps of:

  • modeling application user behavior for a system under test using an application model builder that is independent from the system under test, wherein modeling application user behavior comprises;

    creating an application-specific event profile that defines the relative probability of events that are expected to produce a response from the system under test;

    creating an event model that defines inputs and outputs of each of the events, wherein the event model specifies a domain of outputs for a particular input condition; and

    defining allowed event sequences;

    providing at least one of the application-specific event profile the event model, and the allowed event sequences to a simulator to generate test run inputs;

    using an application-specific trusted source derived from a trusted source framework to generate expected test results from the test run inputs;

    executing an end-to-end test run of the system under test using the test run inputs and a plurality of test agents controlling wireless mobile user devices under a test controller, wherein the end-to-end test run generates actual test results; and

    using an application-specific comparator derived from a comparator framework to compare the actual test results to the expected test results to determine a test verdict.
