Claiming to support the general market, Wi-Fi wireless product WECA (Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance) standards, as implemented by the Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) certification program, include 802.11b, 802.11a, 802.11g, and the latest 802.11n standards cover, without exception, the environments of wireless signals between wireless network products, pursuit of compatibility, performance, conversion rates, security, roaming performance, and stability. Therefore, the certification of their products is relatively very important. At present, as wireless network base stations or wireless network cards by various WLAN equipment manufacturers are produced in accordance with IEEE 802.11 standards and certified by Wi-Fi, the roaming capability and compatibility of APS of different brands are feasible; however, the certification process is not smooth, costing both time and labor. This study aims to employ programs using QTP to establish a testing system, control, and operations of all test equipments and procedures that can shorten testing time via Ethernet, in order to reduce labor costs, while avoiding human errors resulting in misjudgments or lengthened testing time. The extended benefits will also be explored in this paper.
