SilverBlade is a SIM / USIM scripting application designed to automate the initialization of your cards before your testing begins. The scripts that SilverBlade uses are just text files with a special XML format. They look similar to HTML files and are very easy to create. You won't need to be a programmer to create your own.
Scripts will primarily contain just the data you want written to your cards. You won't have to worry about specifying the actual commands that are needed to write the data to the cards. SilverBlade will take care of that automatically for you. This will allow you to quickly write the scripts you need for your test cases.
To execute a script, all the user needs to do is load the script by double clicking on it and then click on the Run button. SilverBlade will fire off the commands to the card and have the card ready for your testing in seconds. It's that easy.
If you have SilverBlade, you can forget about using a SIM or USIM editor to make your modifications each time. Using an editor is slow and error prone. When using an editor, you, and everyone else in the team, will have to have specific knowledge about which bits and bytes to set every time a SIM or USIM needs to be modified. If you don't have that knowledge, you'll have to bother someone else in the team to support you. That will not only slow you down, but also the other person who is supporting you.
Besides the speed of execution, another important benefit of using scripts is that they allow team members to easily share knowledge with the rest of the team. Since SilverBlade scripts are text files, everybody can easily view their contents. This will give your team, if they want, a chance to learn, or refresh their memories, about which bits and bytes need to be set in the SIM or USIM.
Special attention was paid to making SilverBlade as easy to use as possible. Having said that though, if you are a SIM or USIM expert, SilverBlade will not hold you back. If you want to formulate your own commands or issue proprietary commands to your cards, no problem. SilverBlade will allow you to get the job done no matter how you want to do it.
SilverBlade supports all PC/SC card readers. If you have multiple card readers attached to your PC, SilverBlade will allow you to choose whichever one you want to work with. If need be, you can switch back and forth between different card readers in between running your scripts. This could be useful if you are trying to initialize several cards in one session.
The 3GPP and ETSI specifications were followed when SilverBlade was being developed. Because of this, it will work with all your USIM's and SIM's in your library.
When you use SilverBlade, you can initialize your SIM and USIM cards without having to think every time about which bits or bytes need to be set. This not only speeds up your testing, but also ensures that your tests won't fail due to incorrect card configurations. Improve your test sessions today by using SilverBlade. It's free to try for 30 days. We can help you get started.
