Abstract:
1. A method for testing a mobile terminal, comprising: creating a program interface specifying at least an execution method that is called to perform at least one local test of a capability of the mobile terminal and a results method that returns a result for each performed local test; on the mobile terminal, implementing the program interface with a test class that can perform the at least one local test of the capability of the mobile terminal by calling the execution method and the results method; providing a user interface on the mobile terminal, wherein the user interface enables a user to select the at least one local test from a plurality of local tests; automatically performing a preliminary check of the mobile terminal to detect whether the mobile terminal includes a component to be locally tested by at least one of the plurality of local tests; automatically deactivating the at least one of the plurality of local tests to prevent instantiating of the at least one of the plurality of local tests if the performed preliminary check determines that the mobile terminal does not include the component to be tested by the at least one of the plurality of local tests; and performing the at least one local test with the test class on the mobile terminal by calling the execution method and the results method, if the instantiating of the at least one local test was not deactivated.
