A brief introduction on mobile device testing. - 2
R&D test is the main test phase for mobile device, and it happens
during the developing phase of the mobile devices. Usually, as same as
software testing, we will also have some main test phase, such as unit
test, feature test, integration test, system test, and field test. But
the object of these testing is not limited within software. As you
know, each of the mobile devices is a small system, just like a PC, and
it is made up of hardware system, software structure, and also the
mechanical design. So our test should cover all of the components. That
means, our R&D test will contains HW testing, SW testing, and
Mechanical testing. Meanwhile, every test phase will also contain every
kinds of test, such as basic function test, performance test,
interaction test, interoperation test, boundary test, stress test, and
so on.

Firstly, as a communicate equipment, there are many standards made for
the mobile devices. We must do many related test to ensure the mobile
products meet the requirements of the standards. I will introduce the
standards in detail later. Normally, the HW test contains RF testing,
EMC testing, Antenna testing, Safety and Health testing, Audio testing,
I/O connector testing, Power consumption testing, and Accessory
testing. Here, I will give out a brief object of every test topic. And
later, I will try to explain them with more detailed information.
