Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0043880A1] A system and method for improving quality assurance, imparting many person-months of time and cost savings, and streamlining the product development process of target device utilizing commercially available operating systems, such as Windows CE, includes a testing device which applies a suite of comprehensive validation test programs. This system and method, an O/S Validator (1), provides a fully automated design verification package for commercially available operating systems (1000a), Windows CE, by utilizing a host graphical user interface harness (12), a host to target communications (3), at least one test suite (11), and a result capture methodology (12). The O/S Validator (1) provides a faster and more accurate automated test suite technology for testing a port of a commercially available operating systems (1000a), such as Windows CE, to target hardware (1000, 9). In addition, O/S Validator (1) includes a comprehensive code-base developed specifically to purposefully stress the operating system O/S, device driver, OEM Adaptation Layer (OAL), and hardware interaction. The test suites (11) focus on identifying three primary defects including hardware design, hardware programming (drivers/OAL), and operating system interaction. Special diagnostic emphasis is placed on operating subsystems which have historically demonstrated the most problems.
