Monitor Master has the unique ability to be modified to suit unusual
or complicated requirements without any additional hardware or software,
or involvement of Ascom developers.
Our test creation tool, Story Boarder, allows customers to create cus-
tom test scenarios by joining together a path of test steps, such as "Send
SMS," "Receive Email," and "Make Data Connection," in an easy, visual, drag-
and-drop manner.
In addition to these pre-canned test steps, Monitor Master can execute
raw VBScript added using Story Boarder. This opens up a whole world of cus-
tomization and third-party integration capabilities. The VBScript language
is easy to learn and write, and gives an extra edge to the test creation tool.
Here are some typical applications:
Manipulating files in a file system
n
Executing windows command line programs (which could be other
n
custom programs that perform specific tasks)
Performing complex regular expression matching and XPath
n
analysis
This kind of functionality has allowed our customers to integrate
Monitor Master with their systems – without extra cost. For example:
Connect to a UNIX charging server, download billing files via FTP,
n
parse them, and create KPIs from the results
Read prepay voucher numbers from a text file, store them in a
n
local database, then load each voucher onto a SIM card using an
IVR service and DTMF tones, checking the balance before and after
Monitor Master's flexibility also permits you to create new KPIs, metrics,
and messages in each test. So, not only can you integrate with a third-party
system, perform a unique Windows
operating systems directly, but you can also measure how long it takes and
report it as a KPI with any name you require. If a user can do it, Monitor
Master can measure it.
