QualiSystems' Advanced Infrastructure Testing Framework Now Supports IPv6
TestShell provides networking and storage customers with reliable IPv6 testing framework
SANTA CLARA, California, June 6, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
QualiSystems today announced its TestShell
[http://www.qualisystems.com/site/content/t2.asp?Sids&PidP0 ] comprehensive software
framework for lab management, device provisioning and test automation, now supports IPv6
testing. In response to market changes and customer demands, QualiSystems' TestShell
framework enables its customers, many preparing for or in the process of migrating to
IPv6, to release high-quality products and services to the market, with ease.
IPv6 standards are continuing to evolve as feedback from the early deployments is
gathered. In the meantime, IPv6-based products may not perform properly and therefore
require rigorous testing. Consequently, TestShell builds a single software environment
that can configure, deploy and execute the test plan to address IPv6 performance issues.
Moreover, TestShell has needed capabilities to combat IPv6 testing problems. The framework
can be extended to provide a life-cycle management of the test lab - switches, servers,
generators can scheduled and managed from a simple user interface. TestShell mkes it
possible to easily build complex test plans and then execute them from a central framework
through its automated testing environment; and it combines test reports from multiple
devices, and stores them for future reference so that the validation process can be
repeated in the future.
In building its latest TestShell framework, QualiSystems kept in mind testing for IPv6
compliance and stability is not done once, but repeated until the products are stable and
vendors have reached low defect levels. Testing should be performed during the procurement
cycle to validate vendor claims and then repeated during the operational life cycle to
validate that the vendor software is meeting performance and quality targets.
Additionally, when testing the performance of various devices, the results of each product
and test run need to be compared and analyzed to improve the network and vendor value. In
IPv6 testing, there are also multiple devices required in the environment that need to be
integrated in a setup, then managed, and shared.
"We are thrilled to provide a framework that addresses the new challenges of migrating
to IPv6," notes Eitan Lavie, QualiSystems vice president of product management and
marketing. "We responded to our customers' needs in providing a testing framework that
supports the IPv6 software that is unproven and largely untested."
