Graphical Sequence Editor

Tests are configured using ‘drag and drop’ icons such as arrows, branches and timers. These automatically generate test scripts -- a time- consuming and complicated task if programmed manually. More time can therefore be spent diagnosing signaling problems without the need for programming.

Call Simulation

Users can generate test sequences automatically from previously captured data as opposed to entering all the data manually. A sequence of related messages captured using the call trace function can be copied directly to the EmuLite sequence editor. This sequence and the messages within it can then be modified, if required, to create a test ready for execution.

Conformance and Compatibility Tests

NIIF (formerly NOF) tests and high- speed SS7 sequences are included -- ready to run.

Test Manager

The test manager allows single or multiple tests to be selected and run sequentially. Results are stored in the test log and can be optionally logged to a

.CSV file during execution. The EmuLite status view shows the progress of each test by displaying the messages and a PASS or FAIL indicator.

Graphical Test Analysis

EmuLite’s status view identifies all tests which have failed. Advanced decode analysis tools allow messages to be examined in detail providing quick fault identification.

Fully Integrated with Monitor

EmuLite is fully integrated with the Signaling Advisor’s monitor software. All analysis tools such as call trace, statistics and decodes are available for use. The flexibility of this software also allows existing monitor- only customers to upgrade easily to EmuLite.
