TESTING PROCEDURE 

Select a Site



Ask NOC department if its Okay.



Site Okay



Start with 1st Sector



Find Nominal Points  



CINR > 20 --- 25 CQI > 12 --- 15

Nominal Points  

Found DL < 70 --- 75 Ask NOC Person To LOCK the MCS

TESTING PROCEDURE 

Start Downloading 

1GB or 3 mins (Average > 70 Mbs)

TESTING PROCEDURE 

Start Uploading 

3 mins (Average > 7 Mbs )

TESTING PROCEDURE 

Ping Server 

10 Times (avg > 22 --- 30 ms)

TESTING PROCEDURE 







After All Three Sectors Done. Make a Coverage Log File. While Downloading. Make sure all the three sectors are covered.

TESTING PROCEDURE 

After Coverage is Done Make Clockwise Handovers Between the Sectors



Do Same for Anti Clockwise Handovers



Note Done successful Handovers and Failures

TESTING PROCEDURE

Off course , At the End Make Sure You Have Done Proper Naming of Folders and Snaps. So, That it’s easy for Analyzer to understand and do his Job well.

Thanks For Your Patience !
