1. A method for testing a wireless communications network remotely via a mobile device, the method comprising:
- sending, via a remote testing and control system, instructions to perform a test to the mobile device, the instructions to perform the test comprising instructions for the mobile device to attach to the wireless communications network over which to perform the test and to attach to a further wireless communications network over which to send test results of the test performed by the mobile device to the remote testing and control system;
receiving, via the remote testing and control system, over the further wireless communications network, the test results of the test performed by the mobile device in response to the instructions to perform the test;
presenting, via the remote testing and control system, the test results within a user interface; and
receiving, via the user interface, an input to control the test results.

Abstract
A remote testing and control system sends instructions to perform a test to a mobile device, receives test results from the mobile device in response to the instructions, presents the test results within a user interface so that that the test results are viewable by a user, and receives an input to control the test results. The test results may be received and presented within the user interface in real-time. The instructions to perform the test may be scheduled to be sent at a specified time.

11. A computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereupon that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform operations comprising:
-
sending instructions to perform a test to a mobile device; receiving test results of the test performed by the mobile device in response to the instructions to perform the test; receiving, via a user interface, an input to control the test results, the input to control the test results comprising a request to stop, pause, fast forward, rewind, or play the test results; presenting a selection option within the user interface, the selection option comprising a plurality of test parameters of the test; receiving, via the selection option within the user interface, selection of a test parameter from the plurality of test parameters of the test; and presenting, within the user interface, the test results associated with the parameter. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

15. A remote testing and control system comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory having processor-executable instructions stored thereupon that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising sending instructions to perform a test to a mobile device, receiving, in real-time, test results of the test performed by the mobile device in response to the instructions to perform the test, causing the test results to be presented within a user interface as the test results are received, and receiving, via the user interface, an input to control the test results, the input to control the test results comprising a request to stop the test or a request to pause the test; if the input to control the test results comprises the request to stop the test, sending instructions to stop the test to the mobile device, thereby causing the mobile device to stop the test and to send no further test results to the remote testing and control system; and if the input to control the test results comprises the request to pause the test, sending instructions to pause the test to the mobile device, thereby causing the mobile device to pause the test and to send no further test results to the remote testing and control system while the test is abused. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
