Patent ID: 8204497

Claim:
A method for testing a mobile-radio device with the following method steps: generating an instruction sequence for the control of a test device and anticipated response signals that are expected to result from the testing; selecting a first or a second tolerance mode; simulating a real mobile-radio network by executing the instruction sequence for the control of a test device and transmitting signals to the mobile-radio device; receiving uplink-messages using response signals of the mobile-radio device; checking the uplink messages of the response signals with regard to being in accordance with anticipated response signals; within a first, tolerant mode in which the response signals can deviate from the anticipated response signals by specified acceptable deviations, checking whether the response signals deviate from the anticipated response signals by the acceptable deviations and continuing the test in a case that the response signals deviate from the anticipated response signals by the acceptable deviations; and within a second, strict mode in which the response signals cannot deviate from the anticipated response signals, terminating the test in the case that the response signals deviate from the anticipated response signals.
