Abstract
Examples provide a network testing solution using a remote-controlled testing device. A test device includes a computing device for executing network performance testing logic and a cellular device. The test device controls the cellular device via a series of commands issued to the cellular device by the computing device. The test device is placed onto or inside a vehicle. As the vehicle moves through a geographical area, the test device automatically and autonomously performs network testing operations. The test data generated during the test is periodically uploaded to a central controller. The central controller aggregates test data received from a plurality of test devices assigned to a plurality of vehicles for a given campaign. The aggregated test data is analyzed and filtered to generate performance test results. A user can dynamically set up each campaign and assign test devices and vehicles to each campaign using a graphical user interface.
