Abstract
As mobile services and applications are becoming more
pervasive with the increasing adoption of 3G networks and
devices, verifying the different quality attributes in
all parts of the system is important. The 3G network
specifications already address many properties such as
security in network communication. However, focusing on
the network alone is not enough. This paper describes a
testing platform for 3G User Equipment (UE) that allows
effective testing of 3G UE devices and applications in a
laboratory environment. By simulating parts of the
network, the platform provides a realistic yet controlled
environment for testing UE devices and applications.
Using this platform we have executed a number of tests on
3G UE's and applications. Based on our experiences we
describe the specific challenges encountered in testing
in a 3G network as opposed to testing in a more
traditional environment such as a wired LAN.
