As the competition for leading edge is becoming intense among product marketers, the release cycle of new products dramatically moved up, which is a great challenge to each tester and QA divisions. So how to assure the release quality given the limited human resources, tool support and automation coverage on the low side have bothered test managers. The system test can help network device users effectively verify their product functionality, performance and stability in a real world environment before actual deployment. Sigma-RT system test provides an effective solution to verify if the customer’s system is compliant with the specified function description in the system’s function spec.
Usually a system test integrates specified software, hardware, peripheral and other network elements, simulate the real world running test to identify critical system-level defects by long time saturated pressure. However customers often encounter the following problems in actual application:
- Not able to simulate the blending of proper and improper traffic from real world network, nor the typical user’s topology application. Therefore despite the passage of internal test, the product is always found faulty in user’s real networks.
- Limited by current test experience, no more better test methodology is used to identify the potential bugs.
- The new test plan is restricted by purchase budget for test instrument and devices required for building a large test environment.
- The uncertainty for the OEM product performance, stability and function integrity. Wish to verify the OEM product quality at lower budget and find the cost-effective, quality OEM producer.
The proven test experiences in the states plus infrastructure investment worth millions dollars have placed a high-entry barrier on Sigma-RT’s system test service. Our test teams of all scales know how to introduce the real world scenario into the lab, and customize system test solutions with high quality test cases. The four bases and 16 well-equipped professional labs across China and U.S. save your lab space, cost down engineering resources and lower the total infrastructure investment. You don’t have to consider the infrastructure budget for large scale system test; all you need to do is reasonably replicate the tools and test technology, which should have required complicated production environment, fully dependant on Sigma-RT provided test services at test lab facilities. The secured VPN access for remote testings save you time and cost at simplified logistics. Now we endeavor to foster the Sigma-RT system test brand, which is intended for the confidence guarantee of your product quality.
We provide comprehensive support for the SigmationTF other test frameworks customers already adopted. Our system test plans are designed to identify such defects:
- memory leakage
- thread suspension
- system crash
- driver error
- potential incompliance with protocols
- device functional defect at complex network environment
- other severe problems under extreme device resource state
Typical Firewall Topology
