Research And Application Of Radio Network Controller Test Technology

With the rapid development of the mobility communication technology, the computer technology, the network technology and the electronic technology, the world is stepping into 3rd generation era. The 3rd generation mobility communication system is the outcome made by the integration of mobility communication, computer, network and electronic, and it will result in the revolutionary change of human's lifeway. The structure of 3G system is very complicated, and it has a great number of protocols among those devices in 3G system. It is a very important issue how to test these devices with high efficiency and obtaining high performance products, so testing those devices in 3G system is a technical domain being worthy of devotion.RNC (radio network controller) is an important part between CN (core network) and Node B in the WCDMA system. RNC integrated tester is a tool that has the capability of testing each functional module in the RNC. It is based on hardware and software. It strongly supports the development of RNC. Integrality of functions in RNC and continuity of developing RNC can be ensured by RNC integrated tester. It also can reduce the bugs in the RNC and save tremendous resources. RNC automatic integrated tester, thus it can be seen, which plays a crucial role in the RNC development.The thesis describes the following subjects:1. Introduce the character of the 3rd generation mobility communication system, especially on RNC test.2. Take part in the development of auto test software which adapts to the mobility communication equipment and is used in the RNC test project.3. Facilitates easy track and manage (around the world) the state of the test projects via Web Client and independent from the client operation system. The project uses the project management tool that it is be developed by company.The paper has emphatically analyzed the existing software testing technology and the present situation of testing management tools, and unites the characteristic of mobile communication equipment. The paper, from a testing project of mobile communication equipment RNC, had proven the practicability of software testing management and automated testing, which are developed by the company, in software testing and development process.
