Handset Bluetooth testing

“What is Handset Bluetooth testing?” This is a very common interview question for handset testing. First let us see what is “Bluetooth”.

Bluetooth:- It is an wireless protocol for exchanging data from fixed and mobile devices over a short distance.

Now that we are clear with the definition of Bluetooth, let’s move on to Bluetooth testing of mobile/handheld devices.

Today all mobiles have this feature and following pointers must be kept in mind while doing Bluetooth testing.

  1. Initially check the visibility of the device to others while trying to search your device (Master)
  2. Try to pair with device.
  3. Change the visibility time (Ex: On, 1min, 3 min etc)
  4. Rename the device (Slave)and try to pair with same (Master)device and check for the name update in Master
  5. Transfer of files from Master to slave and slave to master
  6. Connect the call via BT headset
  7. Try to pair with maximum devices allowed to pair.
  8. Try to share the files with all the maximum paired devices at a time
  9. Check that BT can be invoked from Multimedia applications while trying to send the media/files
  10. Try to send the contact via BT

I think this small information will help you all up to certain extent.
