Abstract:
1. A test method for restarting a computing device, the computing device communicating with a remote computer, the test method comprising: (a) setting a restart count “N”, a sleep delay time “M”, and an awakening delay time “T” of the computing device; (b) reading a media access control (MAC) address of the computing device; (c) reading initial hardware information of the computing device and starting a first timing in response to an initial start of the computing device; (d) shutting down an operating system of the computing device in response to the first timing reaching the sleep delay time “M”, and forcing the computing device to sleep; (e) starting a second timing in response to forcing the computing device to sleep, and awakening the computing device remotely and restarting the operating system of the computing device in response to the second timing reaching the awakening delay time “T”; (f) counting the restart count of the computing device; (g) reading a second hardware information of the computing device; (h) comparing the second hardware information with the initial hardware information; (i) storing test results according to the comparison in a storage device; (j) determining whether the restart count equals the predetermined restart count “N”; and (k) returning to step (d) and repeating steps (d) through (k) in response to the restart count is not equal to “N”, or reading the test results from the storage device and displaying the test results in response to the restart count equaling “N”.
