Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual testing is performed on each device to confirm functions, then testing accuracy can be maintained, but manpower and material resources are excessively consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses virtual mobile devices as copies of real devices to perform tests. The virtual devices simulate user operations and device responses, allowing comprehensive testing without needing physical devices for every test scenario. This reduces manpower and material resources while maintaining testing accuracy through automated script execution.
Solution Approach 2:
The testing system performs self-testing through automated script execution. The system automatically generates test cases, executes them on virtual devices, and collects results without requiring manual intervention for each test operation. This eliminates the need for extensive manpower while maintaining systematic testing coverage.
2Quantity of substance
If automated testing with preset program instructions is implemented, then manpower requirements are reduced, but the system cannot reflect the overall situation in complex test environments
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal testing system that can handle multiple types of tests across different devices and scenarios through a single automated platform. The system uses virtual devices that can simulate various operation systems and device types, allowing one system to perform diverse testing functions rather than requiring separate testing setups for each scenario.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces virtual mobile devices as intermediaries between the testing system and real devices. These virtual devices act as mediators that can simulate complex user interactions and device responses, enabling the automated system to test scenarios that would otherwise require manual testing or multiple physical devices, thus improving adaptability in complex environments.
3Loss of information
If manual testing is performed, then detailed observation of device operations is possible, but human error increases due to dullness and fatigue
Solution Approach 1:
The automated testing system performs self-observation and self-recording of device operations. The system automatically captures detailed operation logs, device states, and test results without human intervention, eliminating human error while maintaining comprehensive observation of all device operations through automated data collection and logging mechanisms.

AI summary
The present disclosure discloses an automated integrated test system and method thereof. A virtual mobile device is generated by a host at the test end at an initial time, which executes a preset script file to call the basic functions and the control functions after detecting the abnormal signals of production equipments, so as to simulate the processing flow of abnormal signals and to remotely adjust the equipment parameters. Then, a log file is generated according to the execution result of the script file, and the corresponding report files are generated according to different time ranges in the log file for transmission or display, so as to achieve the technical effect of improving the convenience of system testing in the complex environment.
