Web NMS Test Suite enables rapid deployment of a controlled and fully automated testing environment for testing AdventNet Web NMS based applications. This suite helps reduce testing costs, resource requirements, and accelerates the time-to-deliver.

Automated Testing of AdventNet Web NMS based Applications

Automated testing of AdventNet Web NMS based applications is the best way to ensure superior application quality in a cost-efficient and sustained manner. Automated testing of the application on a daily basis helps application developers identify new bugs and breakages as they get added to the code. Early identification helps addressing critical issues earlier.

At the business level, automated testing saves considerable amount of cost and effort that would otherwise go into manually testing the application. AdventNet Web NMS platform itself, is tested automatically using similar procedures. The daily builds of AdventNet Web NMS code base are tested with over 12000 test cases every day, across multiple database-OS combinations, saving 300 person-days of manual testing efforts each day!

At the application level, automated testing results in effective project tracking, superior application quality, and reduced time-to-deliver.

AdventNet's Solution for Automated Testing

AdventNet offers Web NMS Test Suite a powerful automated testing solution tailor-made for testing AdventNet Web NMS based applications. It delivers immediate Return on Investment (ROI) by reducing QA expenses on manual testing of the application and the time taken to test the application. Being automated, the suite allows developers to conduct more exhaustive tests on the application.

Web NMS Test Suite comprises of three major components – a testing engine, a simulation toolkit, and a set of utilities.

The testing engine facilitates automated testing of the application and produces reports on a daily basis to monitor quality as the code evolves. It facilitates writing new test cases and incorporating them into the daily testing environment. It also enables both server side and client side testing. QEngine, an integrated tool, allows server side testing while for client side testing external tools like Mercury WinRunner, ABBOT or others can be used. QEngine facilitates integration with any client-side testing tool.

The simulation toolkit allows simulation of devices, workstations, desktops, and network elements for test purposes. It reduces the necessity of using real time devices, which would be expensive, time consuming and offer limited scalability.

The utilities include scripts that transfer the product build to the test bed and a trap generation tool that facilitates generation of traps on a sustained pace or on a burst mode facilitating performance testing of the application.
