CreataLink2 XT Hardware Integrator’s Guide Testing
Application Software
Application Software
The data transceiver resides between the application and the network. Tests need
to verify the communications links between an external host and the data
transceiver and between the data transceiver and the network.
Software Driver Configuration
This test verifies that the driver software and configuration are such that the
external host and data transceiver serial port can communicate with each other.
Network Configuration
Determine if the application can use the data transceiver to communicate with a
two-way paging network. This test uses existing network software to communicate
with a specific network.
To ensure that the final application is able to respond correctly under all adverse
network conditions, the application software needs systematic testing against all
possible failure and exception conditions. Low battery, out of range, host down,
unexpected data, maximum message size, and maximum peak/sustained
throughput must not cause the host application to fail. Each condition must have
a specific remedial action.
