7 Job and Test Configuration

A job is a collection of similar tests that share the same timing and job options. The tests that are defined in a
job are executed consecutively. The job options are located on the General tab. Each job is of a specific
type, that is, an intrusive job can only contain intrusive tests. Additionally, each job must be defined for a
specific unit type since some test settings for different unit types require different values and interaction.
You need to specify the following settings for a job:
Job options
Tests
Timings
Note: The timings for most jobs are similar.
You can configure the following job types in TestManager:

Intrusive: A typical double-ended telephony job that establishes a voice or video-call between an A-
side and a B-side measurement unit and then sends voice samples between the two units.
Non intrusive: A single-ended telephony job that establishes a voice call to a defined far-end side.
Instead of a measurement probe, the far-end side can be a voice box, a service number, or an
answering voice call. The job evaluates the listening quality of the voice signal that is received by the
measurement unit from the test number. The signal is evaluated with NiNA+. You only need one unit for
this type of job.
Access test: Attempts to call a number, and after the connection is made, the job stops. You only need
one unit for this type of job.
Call to any number: A call is made to any number. The job maintains the connection for a period of time
and then disconnects. You do not need a dedicated B-side unit.
Call from any number:
Data: IP tests such as FTP, HTTP, and so on.
Video over IP: Video streaming test that is designed for a PC. The test uses a phone or data card as a
modem and plays the video on the PC where the measurement probe runs.
Idle: The mobile device stays in idle mode and only idle trace data and scanner data are collected.
Scanner only: Only scanner data is collected.
Forcing: Allows you to define a job that forces a device into a defined technology or band.
Upload: Units receive instruction as to when to upload result files.
To add a job
1. In the Navigation pane, click Tasks, and then click Jobs.
2. Click Add Job.
3. Specify the settings for the job, and then click Add.

Setting Description

Setting Description
No Video Call Establishes a common voice call
Phone to Phone Allows the establishment of a video call from one mobile phone to another.
The transmission and capture of the voice sample is the same as a voice call.
Phone to Responder Mobile phone calls a responder station that plays out a (pre-stored) audio
and video clip from its own memory. The voice signal is captured in the same
was as a common voice or video call. You can also capture the phone
display with a camera if you have the dedicated hardware
Stack to Stack (half Emulates the video telephony client on the measurement probe. This video
duplex) stack mode bypasses the internal phone VT client and runs these software
components on the host PCM. The mode allows for full access to the audio
and video signals at the digital capturing interfaces as well as traces the
H.324 protocol information.
In the half-duplex mode the video clip is only sent in the same direction as
voice is sent too.
Stack to Stack (full In the full-duplex mode the video is transmitted simultaneously in both
duplex) directions whilst voice is transmitted in one only (voice remains half-duplex).
Phone to Stack Inserts the video stream directly into the protocol that is received on the
mobile phone. The display of the phone is captured by a camera.
Save video files Specifies the settings for saving video recordings as AVI files. Be aware that
these files can be quite large.
Timings Tab
Call Window Timings Area
Setting Description
Window Duration [s] Time in seconds for a Mobile Originated Calls (MOC) or Mobile Terminated
Calls (MTC) window. For NetQual, MOC means A to B and MTC means B to
A. Within a window, the system performs 0 or more tests calls. Such calls can
either be started and terminated by the mobile unit. This parameter is
extremely important and is always respected during the test session to keep
the A-side and the B-side synchronized.
Use Call Duration to Terminates the call when the pre-configured call duration expires and makes
Abort Call the Dedicated Mode part of a test fixed.
If you want the call to terminate after the tests are completed, clear the check
mark from this box.
Note: If you clear the check mark, the duration of a test depends on the
Call Setup Time and on the Calculation Time of the algorithm, both of
which are not fixed. As a result, the ratio between Dedicated Mode and
Idle Mode of a test is not fixed.
Call Duration [s] Time in seconds between the Dial command and Disconnect.
Pause Duration [s] Time in seconds between the last call termination and the next Dial
command.
st
1 Call Setup Delay [s] Time in seconds between the start of a new window and the first call setup.

Setting Description
Guard Time [s] Time in seconds before the end of the window where all ongoing calls are
disconnected by the system to ensure that the next measurement window
can start immediately.
No Call Setup Time [s] Time in seconds before the end of the window where no new calls are
started.
Average Call Setup Time in seconds, which is used to calculate the remaining time for the tests
Time [s] within a call. This value directly affects the Total Duration.
Example
Call Duration = 120 sec
Average Call Setup Time = 10 sec
Approximately 5 seconds is needed to perform audio synchronization before the real tests can start
As a result, the call is online for 105 seconds during which the tests can be performed.
General Settings Area
Setting Description
MOC:MTC Ratio Specify the ratio of MOC windows to MTC windows.
Important: For QualiPoc speech tests, you must set this parameter to
1:0.
Example
1:1 1x MOC window followed by 1x MTC window, followed by 1x MOC window, and so on.
0:1 Only MTC windows
1:0 Only MOC windows
2:1 2x MOC windows followed by 1x MTC window, followed by 2x MOC windows, and so on.
Call Failure Behavior Area
Setting Description
Pause after Failed Call Time in seconds that the system to pause after a failed call setup. This can
[s] be different from the normal pause time between calls.
Max Failed Calls Maximum number of consecutive failed calls.
Important: In the case of a failed call, the Window duration always

applies. The A-side and the B-side must remain synchronized during the
whole test, even if a failed call occurs. By definition, a failed call can not
be acknowledged by the B-side.
Pause after Max Failed Time in seconds that the system pauses before the next call setup after the
Calls [s] maximum number of failed calls is reached.
Max Call Setup Time [s] Maximum time in seconds for call setup.

Setting Description
Alerting Timeout [s] Time in seconds between Channel Request and Alerting. If this value is > 0,
then the call terminates if the alerting signal is not received within the
specified time after a channel request.
Note: This parameter is only applicable for mobile devices.

Intrusive Tests Tab

Intrusive tests are designed to measure the quality of a connection. These tests use the following algorithms:
Speech: Measures the Listening Quality (LQ) in the traditional telephone band (300 … 3400Hz,
narrowband)

Speech-Wideband: Measures the Listening Quality (LQ) in wideband mode (50 … 14000Hz).
Note: The voice signal sent into the channel and the applied LQ measure are different for narrowband
and wideband tests. If you measure a narrowband channel in wideband mode, the test counts the
bandwidth limitation of the channel as degradation. For more information, see Transition to the new
version of Squad and Wideband Voice Test.pdf
Noise suppression: Narrowband test that evaluates the qualitative performance of noise suppression
systems in the handset or a channel. For this reason, the test interlaces voice samples with
background noise to the channel and measures the quality of noise reduction.
Advanced Echo Check active (AECa): Narrowband test that evaluates the qualitative performance
of Echo Cancellation systems in a handset or a channel. The test actively inserts an echo to simulate
an echo-generating handset at the far end side and measures the delay and return loss of the
remaining echo.
Advanced Echo Check passive (AECp): Narrowband test that measures the delay and return loss
of an echo that is caused by any component on the network. The far end side is considered as
‘perfect’ and does not generate an echo.
Round Trip Time: Measures the voice signal roundtrip time by an inband measurement. For an
assumed symmetric delay in both directions, half of the round trip time can be considered as one-
way signal delay.
DTMF: Tests the transmission of DTMF tones
Note: The settings are similar for all intrusive test types except for Advanced Echo Check (active) and
Round Trip Time.
Setting Description
Test name Name of the test. You can use any name.
Intrusive test type Select the type of test that you want to create.
Direction A to B: Test sample is sent from the A-Device to the B-Device. This setting is
also known as uplink if the A-device is a mobile.
B to A: Test sample is sent from the B-Device to the A-Device. This setting is
also known as downlink.
Save WAV files Specify the save options for the resulting wav files.
All: Saves all the wav files
None: Does not save the wav files
LQ <=: Saves the wav files that are below the LQ threshold value that you
enter.
Reference sample Select the reference voice sample that you want to use for the test. The
samples are in different languages.
Duration approx [s] The system calculates the amount of time needed for the tests depending on
the reference sample.
Note: Make sure that the test is defined correctly on both side, as above if the A-side sends a sample,
then the B-side must be set to record. The test order and the samples must always be the same on both
sides.
Acoustic Echo Active Test

To create an echo on the receiving end of the test, the SQUAD Acoustic Echo Check (AEC) requires more
information than the other intrusive tests.

Setting Description
Reference sample Select the sound sample file to cause the echo for the test.
Double talk sample Select one of the three double talk samples to challenge the EC.
Note: The filename of the sample includes the percentage of active

speech in the sample.
Type Select the echo type to define the echo-path response. In addition to the nine
responses that are defined in ITU-T G.168, you can also select a plain
reflection as well as dry and hollow reverb.
Attenuation [dB] Specify the amount in decibels to attenuate the sound level of the reference
sample. This setting is comparable to a selectable TCL.
Echo delay [ms] Specify the delay in milliseconds for the echo.
To estimate the tail length of an echo canceller, define a series of SQuad
AEC active measurements in a job and increase the echo delay of
successive tests.

take place (H-packet: RTT).
U-Packet reply size Defines the new packet size to which the server will adjust the U-packets
take place (U-packet: Uplink).
B-Packet reply size Defines the new packet size to which the server will adjust the B-packets
take place (B-packet: Downlink).

Setting Description
Overall packet reply size Defines the new packet size to which the server will adjust all received
packets before sending them back to the client. If the value is zero, no
adjustment will take place. This value is the least significant and can be
‘overwritten’ by the above described parameter values.
Enable auto size If checked the server can shrink packets to the new defined packet size,
shrinking for entire before they are sent back to the client. In case that the option is not checked,
packet reply shrinking is not allowed and therefore the packet will not be cut.
Packet timeout Time after which the server application starts to send server generated
packets if client packets no longer reach the server.
Packet interval Time interval between the packets sent by the server.
Packet count Total number of server generated packets the server sends.
Packet size Defines the packet size used for server generated packets.

Maximum time per Defines the maximum time a sent client-packet can wait for its corresponding
packet in send buffer reply-packet to arrive. If time is up, the packet is being deleted from the buffer
and marked as lost.
Note: The expression “size” means packet payload size. The actual transferred data consists of packet
payload, UDP header (8 Bytes) and IP header (20 Bytes).
The UDP test measures round-trip time and throughput by round-tripping UDP packets. Both round-trip time
and throughput are recorded.
UDP Plus is a slightly more flexible UDP test where UDP traffic may be predefined within a chirp file.
This test type requires a special license and is not part of the standard data test package.
Email Send
Setting Description
SMTP Sever You need to indicate the SMTP server. This may be a SwissQual
MediaServer or the SMTP server given by the operator/provider. If you need
to use a special port other than the default (port 25), then you can simply add
it with a colon: server:port.
Email address When using a SwissQual Media Server (IPServer), just enter the account
name (for example, ‘gprs22’); otherwise, use a fully-qualified email address
(for example, ‘test@someprovider.com’).
Subject This parameter allows you to give the email message you are sending a
subject title. This facilitates receiving this same email message in the “Email
receive” test.

Setting Description
Attachment You can send/receive an attachment within an email message. This
parameter is not available with the Receive function. The application will
retrieve the first available email message on the POP3 server which may or
may not have an attachment. This is the email message you would have
previously sent with a Send text.
Text size This parameter indicates the size of the email to be sent. This parameter is
not available with the Receive function. The application will retrieve the first
available email on the POP3 server, whatever its size may be. This is the
normally the email you would have sent with a Send text previously.
Use SMTP When your SMTP server requires authentication, check this checkbox and
authentication enter username/password.
Username Username for SMTP authentication.
Password Password for SMTP authentication.
The Email test measures send/receive time for email. You would normally set up one test to send an email
and a second test to receive the email.
Email Receive
Setting Description
Server Your Email server. If you need to use a special port other than the default (port
110), then you can simply add it with a colon: server:port.
Subject This parameter allows you to specify which email to download from the server.
You need to indicate the subject title of the specific email.
Note: Do not use the same user account for different tests that run at the same time. The server might
not be able to handle multiple connections for the same user at the same time.
GPRS Attach + Detach

Setting Description
Attempts This parameter allows you to indicate how many times you would like the
application to test the attachment/detachment process.
At the moment, only 1 attempt is allowed. Therefore, the field is not editable.
Timeout This parameter indicates the amount of time the application will wait for a
positive response from the network. If there is no positive response from the
network within this period, then the test has failed.
SwissQual recommends that you use the following test sequence for the GPRS Attach/Detach test:
1. Start with a GPRS Attach test
2. Then PDP Activation test
3. After this, you may include any other data tests, such as FTP or HTTP or Email etc.
4. Next, PDP Deactivation test
5. Finally, GPRS Detach test.
This recommended test sequence will give you a more complete and connected picture of the performance
of the network.

PDP Activation and Deactivation

It is recommended that the PDP Activation/Deactivation test be used in the following test sequence:
1. Start with a GPRS Attach test

Forcing Job
The forcing job is a functional job and can not be used for measuring or testing. It allows having forcing
function at job level rather than task level. This is especially useful if in the same task different
band/technologies should be used.
Note: In a task the forcing job only applies to the A-side device.
Tests
Static Forcing
Static forcing is used to force a trace-capable mobile phone (for example, Nokia 6680) to a certain
technology and/or band. It is call “static” because the forced technology, band can not be changed during the
execution of a task.
Upload Job
The upload job is used to instruct a unit to upload its result files. Like this, uploading can be scheduled.
