Automated Testing of Location Based Services

In order for a new service to be accepted by the target market, it must provide consistent value and be quick to market, which requires intensive testing and trials before introduction. Intensive testing and trials, however, are contrary to lowering expenses and fast introduction. Automated testing and the use of automated test tools is one way to overcome this challenge and to assure the quality of services while meeting today's time to market requirements. This application note focuses on protocol testing of mobile telecommunication networks with the Tektronix K1297-G20 protocol tester and the Tektronix Test Management System (TMS).
