FRAMEWORK FOR TESTING AND EVALUATING MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICES

A framework and associated systems and methods for testing mobile communication devices are disclosed. An exemplary method includes receiving user-action data from each of a plurality of user-action-capture devices. The user-action data received from the user-action-capture devices includes data that characterizes a plurality of user actions that were performed on the user-action-capture devices. The user-action data is consolidated into generic representations of the user actions to create a superset of generally-applicable-user-action data, and each generic representation of a user action in the superset represents two or more similar user actions. The generally-applicable-user-action data is then used to test mobile communication devices that are different than the user-action-capture devices.
