Introduction
Service Tests

1 Introduction
QualiPoc Android has been designed for handheld radio network optimization and
quality assessment. This software supports a variety of devices and technologies
including GSM, GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA, HSDPA, HSUPA and LTE. Due to the ease of
use, you can use QualiPoc to collect data and voice services statistics.
QualiPoc fully supports Android motions and gestures as well as touch and double-tapping.

1.1 Service Tests

QualiPoc Android includes the following test functionality:

CALL: Uses the Call2anynumber test to set up a speech call connection to a number that automatically responds. Uses the Speech MOC test to measure intrusive
speech quality (MOS) on speech call connection to a responding station. The
answering station job could be used to answer calls for a MOC DL job.

DATA: Sets up a PS data connection to an access point name. This functionality

includes FTP UL/DL, HTTP Browser, HTTP Transfer GET/PUT, Ping, Email and
Capacity DL testing.

MESSAGE: Test SMS and MMS functionality

Multi-Data, Multi-Mix, Multi-RAB, and Parallel: Execute data and call tests
sequentially or in parallel.
You can also execute multi-RAB tests in random order.

Idle Monitoring: Allows you to monitor and to store RF parameters during normal
use of the phone when QualiPoc is idle.

Using QualiPoc
Creating and Running a Measurement Job

If the phone is connected to the charger with a USB cable, the battery might not charge
fast enough to compensate for the power consumption of tests that use HS and LTE
technologies. In such a scenario, the phone can suddenly turn off when the battery
level drops below 5% despite being connected to a charger.
You can view the battery level and free space warnings on the "Log" tab.

You can view low battery and low disk space alert messages on the "Alerts and
Actions" tab in NQView . You can also find information about task failed starts and running task aborts on the "Log messages" and "System log" tabs.
