Wireless communication is pervasive nowadays; however, ensuring the high performance and reliability (or as known as the quality of service) of such devices is not an easy task. Eleven Engineering Inc. is a market leader in designing and making the processors for wireless audio applications, including Home Theater, Karaoke, iPod, and Pro Audio products. Eleven's proprietary XInC2 processor was designed for digital wireless audio applications. The products equipped with a XInC2 wireless processor have been a success in the industry. The wireless transmission protocol SKAA is key to the success of Eleven's products; it allows an integrated implementation of wireless audio transport on a single hardware component. However, a challenge is to debug and test an SKAA-based system due to the complexity involved in the functions of the system and the strict real-time operation requirement. In this project, we seek to develop an automated test solution for Eleven's SKAA wireless technology. A hardware platform will be developed for testing SKAA to support automated integration testing. The integrated testing system will help to considerably improve the quality of the products of Eleven and, therefore, to make their products more competitive in the industry. An improved SKAA ecosystem will benefit the related electronics industry in Canada. The project will also provide valuable training opportunities for highly qualified personnel (HQP), who will make technical contributions to the industrial partner and will be joining the working force in the related industry. As such, the project will benefit the electronics industry in Canada in both the near and long terms.

无线通信在当今是普遍的;然而，确保这样的设备的高性能和可靠性（或称为服务质量）不是一件容易的任务。十一工程公司是设计和制造无线音频应用处理器的市场领导者，这些应用包括家庭影院、卡拉OK、iPod和Pro Audio产品。Eleven专有的XInC 2处理器专为数字无线音频应用而设计。配备XInC 2无线处理器的产品在业界取得了成功。无线传输协议SKAA是Eleven产品成功的关键;它允许在单个硬件组件上集成实现无线音频传输。然而，由于系统功能的复杂性和严格的实时操作要求，基于SKAA的系统的调试和测试是一个挑战。在这个项目中，我们寻求为Eleven的SKAA无线技术开发自动化测试解决方案。将开发用于测试SKAA的硬件平台，以支持自动化集成测试。集成测试系统将有助于大幅提高Eleven的产品质量，从而使其产品在行业中更具竞争力。SKAA生态系统的改善将使加拿大的相关电子行业受益。该项目还将为高素质人员（HQP）提供宝贵的培训机会，他们将为工业合作伙伴做出技术贡献，并将加入相关行业的工作队伍。因此，该项目将在短期和长期内使加拿大的电子行业受益。
