Functional Test Cases - Active SIM:

Test: Verify module firmware version
Expected result: IMEI + SVN reported matches the version posted to Onboarding Tool. Your device will automatically report this information to our network. All you need to do is power on your device

Test: Verify SMS Connectivity
Expected result: 5 MT SMSs were properly delivered to your device and recorded by Control Center. If applicable, verify that MO SMS is received and recorded by Control Center. These MT SMS are initiated by AT&T Control Center, delivered to the device, and logged by AT&T Control Center.

Behavioral Test Cases - Active SIM:

Test: Verify On-Demand Data and/or SMS Connectivity
Expected Result: This test verifies that the device will respond as intended from an action initiated by AT&T from Control Center. From AT&T Control Center we will see that the device is attached, registered with a valid APN, and is sending data.

Test: Verify Data and/or SMS Usage in a 24 Hour Period
Expected Result: This test verifies that, under typical usage, the device’s data and/or SMS usage (keep alives, autonomous reporting, and regular activity) are within expectations.

Behavioral Test Cases - Deactivated SIM:

Test: Verify Device Behavior in a 24 Hour Period when PS services are unavailable
Expected result: After you put SIM #2 in your device, AT&T will deactivate the SIM and observe for any aggressive behavior from Control Center.
