Research And Implementation Of Automated Testing Platform Of Soft Switch System

This article subject is the research and implementation of automated testing platform of the soft switch system. The research content includes the characteristic analysis of the measured object which is suitable for the platform, the designation and implementation of the automated testing platform as well as using around the platform the soft switch system test aspect content and income comparison. Studying the system from the soft switch system and its subsystem (OBS) begins, through analyzing its system structure and exterior connection, as well as in the actual center application flow, we find the appropriate test method. Soft switch system has the huge development potential. Looking from the long term development angle, the soft switch takes the NGN core technology and it is the network developing inevitable trend. Through improving the automated test method, the thorough research is conducted to the automated test technology. The merit of automated test technology is to eliminate mistake by human beings in the manual test, and to enhance the test efficiency. Automated test has many different ranks according to the maturity, and automated degree difference is very big among each kind of rank. Through discussing and researching the technical difficulty and sphere of action, we thinks: considering each aspect and separating the test example from the testing tool, developing a special automated testing platform is the most appropriate technology for testing this kind of large-scale system like soft switch. In this system the different subsystem has concrete request to the automated testing platform, which causes the different influence on the platform stability, operation and extension. The primary function storehouse API concept is proposed. In the foundation of public automated testing platform, and in view of the actually different subsystem, each different function storehouse is used. Through the experiment and the comparison, we confirmed the automated test already reduce the manual test and greatly enhance the test efficiency. Simultaneously the automated test has the uniformity and the repeatability so as to guarantee the software quality.
