Studying Of CDMA2000 Protocol Testing Platform

With the rapid development of telecommunication and Ethernet, especially the trend of network convergence, the design and implementation of protocol are becoming more and more complex. It is necessary for protocol vendors to push new protocol onto market with lower cost, shorter time, and better quality. We have to rely on protocol testing theory to improve the quality of new protocol, and ensure it meets the requirements of specification exactly. Generally, protocol testing can be divided into three types: conformance testing, interoperability testing and performance testing. And the theory of test suites auto-generation simplifies the protocol testing, and decreases time-to-market.This paper, based on the foundation of fully research about protocol testing theory and test suites auto-generation theory, raises a new framework for protocol testing automation. It adopts formal language to describe protocol and system's behaviors, and auto-generates test suites that written by TTCN-3 through test suites auto-generation theory. The framework can run automatically to verify the test results and generate test reports.Meanwhile, the paper also provides a new method for performance testing of CDMA2000 network (such as call load performance test), based on the special requirements of 3G networks. It combines the single mission performance test with the virtual network– the software simulation of real network– performance test, to evaluate the performance of devices deployed in 3G networks.
