Abstract

A testing device for evaluating operations of software installed in a mobile terminal includes a scenario selecting unit configured to select a scenario that includes information for causing the mobile terminal to execute a function that should be operated by the mobile terminal, a scenario execution determining unit configured to determine whether the scenario selected by the scenario selecting unit is executable, a scenario execution unit configured to execute the scenario determined to be executable by the scenario execution determining unit, and a scenario execution result determining unit configured to determine whether an execution result of the scenario executed by the scenario execution unit is the same as a result expected beforehand. The scenario execution determining unit determines whether the scenario selected by the scenario selecting unit is executable based on the execution result of the scenario executed by the scenario execution unit in the past.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A testing device for evaluating operations of software installed in a mobile terminal, the testing device comprising:
a central processing unit (CPU) configured to
select, from a first plurality of scenarios set beforehand that includes an operation procedure for causing the mobile terminal to execute a function that should be operated by the mobile terminal, a second plurality of the scenarios which should be executed by the mobile terminal;
store scenario control information including a scenario name, an operation procedure for executing a corresponding function, and a corresponding operational content;
store scenario execution information including the operational content and information indicating whether the operational content should be restricted;
determine whether the operational content of a selected scenario of the second plurality of the scenarios is executable; and
execute the scenario including the operational content determined to be executable, wherein the CPU is further configured to obtain the operational content of the selected scenario of the second plurality of the scenarios from the scenario control information, and determine whether the operational content of the selected scenario of the second plurality of the scenarios is executable based on the scenario execution information.

2. The testing device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the CPU is further configured to
determine whether an execution result of the executed scenario is the same as a result expected beforehand; and
store scenario execution result information including a number of failures of the scenario execution and a scenario name of the executed scenario,
wherein the CPU is configured to determine that the scenario execution has failed in a case where it is determined that the execution result is different from the result expected beforehand, reflect it to the number of failures of the scenario execution of the scenario execution result information, and add the scenario of the scenario execution result information whose number of failures of the scenario execution is equal to or more than a predetermined threshold to the scenario execution information.

3. The testing device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the CPU is further configured to remove the scenario which is determined to be not executable from the selected second plurality of the scenarios.

4. The testing device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the CPU is further configured to remove the scenario which is determined to be not executable from the selected second plurality of the scenarios.
