Automated contact center customer mobile device client infrastructure testing
An automated contact center agent mobile device client infrastructure testing system comprising a mobile device command repository is disclosed. The system also has a mobile device control module that retrieves mobile device commands from the repository, receives instructions, data, and parameters for contact center device testing, runs predesignated contact center device test suites on at least one mobile device, receives contact center device test suite result data from mobile devices, and forwards the contact center device test suite result data received from mobile devices to a contact center device test manager system.
1. A system for automated contact center customer mobile device client infrastructure testing, comprising:
a mobile device command repository
configured to store a plurality of mobile device test initiation commands, each test initiation command being configured to cause a wireless mobile device to initiate a test of a contact center system; and
a mobile device control module comprising at least a plurality of programming instructions stored in a memory and operating on a processor of a network-connected computing device, wherein the mobile device control module is configured to:
retrieve a mobile device test initiation command from the mobile device command repository;
connect to a wireless mobile device;
send the mobile device test initiation command to the mobile device;
receive a test result from the wireless mobile device; and
store the test result in a mobile device response log data store; and
a wireless mobile device comprising a wireless network adapter, a memory, a processor, and a plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory, wherein the plurality of programming instructions, when operating on the processor, cause the wireless mobile device to:
receive a wireless connection from the mobile device control module;
receive a test initiation command from the mobile device control module;
initiate a test program corresponding to the test initiation command by contacting a contact center via a means of communication set forth in the test program;
receiving a response from the contact center via the means of communication set forth in the test program; and
determining a test result of the communication with the contact center using the test program; and
sending the test result to the mobile device control module.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the means of communication set forth in the test program comprises testing of at least a voice call using a telephony network.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the means of communication set forth in the test program a VoIP call using a packet data network.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the means of communication set forth in the test program comprises testing of a video call.
5. A method for automated contact center customer mobile device client infrastructure testing, in which the steps comprise:
storing a plurality of mobile device test initiation commands, each test initiation command being configured to cause a wireless mobile device to initiate a test of a contact center system;
retrieving, using a mobile device control module, a mobile device test initiation command from the mobile device command repository;
connecting, using a mobile device control module, to a wireless mobile device;
sending, using a mobile device control module, the mobile device test initiation command to the wireless mobile device;
initiating a test program on the wireless mobile device corresponding to the test initiation command by contacting a contact center via a means of communication set forth in the test program;
receiving on the mobile device a response from the contact center via the means of communication set forth in the test program; and
determining on the mobile device a test result of the communication with the contact center using the test program; and
sending the test result from the wireless mobile device to the mobile device control module;
storing the test result in a mobile device response log data store.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the means of communication set forth in the test program comprises a voice call using a telephony network.
7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the means of communication set forth in the test program comprises a VoIP call using a packet data network.
8. The method stem of claim 5 , wherein the means of communication set forth in the test program comprises testing of a video call.
