  1. Testing 4G Ahead of the Curve Automation, is it even an option?

  2. 4G Technical Benefits Source: Motorola

  3. 4G Technical Benefits Source: Motorola

  4. 4G Business Benefits Expanded Services + New Services + Less Cost = More Revenue The Next Chapter in the War for subscribers

  5. Companies already in Trials

  6. 4G is Complex Source: Kineto Wireless

  7. 4G is Another Layer Source: Alcatel-Lucent, Fibresystems.org

  8. 4G Complexity is Daunting

  9. New Technology Equals Churn • New Devices / Standards - Daily • High Feature Velocity • Rapid bug fix releases This makes an already challenging problem quite frustrating

  10. Test Area: Hardware and Interfaces Software and Interfaces • Application Interactions • With and without network interaction) • Application running from Memory Card • Flight Mode • Concurrency e.g. • Mobile TV and incoming call • Write SMS and incoming call • Receive SMS/MMS during Call • Receive call while any of the applications is running • Video Conference and MMS • Streaming service and incoming/outgoing call • Upload data and and incoming/outgoing call • ... • Formfactors / Design • FPGA • Processors • Display • Keypad • Touchscreen • Camera • Microphone • Battery and Charger • Data Cables (Video, USB) • Headset • Headset Bluetooth • Lamp • Storage • Data Card (removable) • Layer 2/3 Protocol Testing (Network Signaling) • GSM/GPRS/EDGE • UMTS/HSPA • LTE (example follows) • Module Testing • HW/SW Integration • System Integration • 2G/3G Mobility • IntraRAT-Handover • InterRAT-Handover • Protocol Conformance Testing ( ->GCF) • Applications without network interaction • Music • Gaming • Java • Phonebook • Calendar • Clock / Alarm / Worldclock • Editor • Document viewer • Caculator • Currency converter • GPS • Radio FM • Services e.g. • Supported Bearers • SIP / IMS applications (as VoIP !!) • MBMS (as Mobile TV) • Different Qos/QCI (=QoS class Identifier in LTE) • Bearers in parallel • Supplementary services (CLIP/CLIR...) • Location Based Services • Throughput measurements • Performace Testing • IODT • IOT • Drive / Field tests • Type Approval • Radio Interface (RF) • physics & control • En-/Decoding • Throughput • IR • Bluetooth • WiFi • FM Radio • GPS • Additional keys for e.g. • Loudness • Camera • Switch on/off • Sensors (if applicable) • Applications with network interaction • Mobile TV • SMS • MMS • Download, upload files, pictures, videos • Interactive gaming • Calendar synchronisation • Email • Push to talk • Web browsing • WAP • Call Register (in / out / missed) • VoIP • IPv6 • Video • Quality • Codecs • Video recording • Content and File Management • DRM • File Manager • Data transfer via BT, IR, USB • Graphics • Platform Capabilities • Operating System (S60, Windows Mobile etc) • Platform SDK • Security • Audio • Quality • Codecs • Voice recording • Speech recognition (Voice dialling)

  11. Testing Ahead of 4G • 4G is another order magnitude on top of the existing infrastructure • Profitability and company viability on the line. • Unbelievable Technology Churn • Less ability to test manually • Script based testing is failing

  12. Will Your 4G be on Time? Can you take a feature test and get it into regression before you release the product or service? Can you run a full regression suite on a new service, new device feature, or a device software update in less than a week? In two days? No? Better hope your competitor can’t
