Automatic Device Discovery¶
Overview¶
The Automatic Device Discovery feature streamlines the onboarding process for mobile devices in the Quad TEO testing environment. When a new device is connected to a Mobile Id Test Node, the system automatically detects it and creates a preliminary device entry in the system.
How It Works¶
- Connect a new mobile device to the Test Node via USB
- The system automatically detects the connection
- A new device entry is created on the Mobile Ids page
- Basic device information is automatically populated
- The device appears with a default name format:
NewDevice_<identifier>
Automatically Detected Parameters¶
The system automatically retrieves and records the following device information:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| UDID | Unique Device Identifier - a permanent device-specific string |
| Mobile Type | Device model identification |
| OS Version | Current operating system version |
| Brand | Device manufacturer |
These parameters form the foundation for device identification within the test environment.
Required Manual Configuration¶
After automatic discovery, several critical fields must be manually configured to ensure proper test execution:
| Field | Description | Importance |
|---|---|---|
| MSISDN | Mobile Subscriber ISDN Number (phone number) | Critical for call/SMS testing |
| National Format | Local format of the phone number | Required for proper dialing |
| IMSI | International Mobile Subscriber Identity | Essential for network identification |
| IMEI | International Mobile Equipment Identity | Required for device authentication |
⚠️ Important Warning:
The system initially populates these fields with random placeholder values. These placeholders must be replaced with accurate information before conducting tests. Failure to update these values with correct information will result in test failures and unreliable results.
Best Practices¶
- Rename the device from the default
NewDevice_<identifier>to a descriptive name that clearly identifies the device - Verify all information is correct before adding the device to any test suites
