Product Brief: Mu TestCloud
Summary
Today’s computing environments are complex – at any given time, there can be hundreds of thousands of applications, with multiple versions and variations, based on the client device type (e.g. Android, iPad and PC) and geographic regions (e.g. Skype in Asia versus Europe), on the live network. As a result, test teams struggle to quickly and effectively test all their cloud applications and infrastructure. Mu TestCloud enables you to stay on top of the application explosion and easily re-create millions of sessions of real application traffic to test the performance and security of your applications and systems.
Use Cases
Offering thousands of ready-to-run Mu tests for a wide range of popular applications, including peer-to-peer (P2P), Business, Instant messaging (IM), and Social Media, and thousands of known security attack templates you can test:
- Policy Enforcement for QoS Application-aware systems, such as DPI engines, application firewalls, and mobile packet gateways.
- The effectiveness of DPI, IPS/IDS, ALG, UTM systems, evaluating their performance under real-world conditions, as well as the potential impact of security attacks can have on that performance.
Benefits
- Accuracy – test with real user-generated traffic, as seen on your network, with detailed metadata that describes the user operation contained in each test for quick identification and resolution of issues prior to deployment.
- Breadth and Depth of Content – the largest repository of application tests and known security attacks in the industry, including multiple versions (e.g., Skype version 5.3.0.8 and 5.3.0) and multiple platforms (such as iPad 2, iPhone 4, Android, and PC), so you know exactly what to expect in your environment.
- Live Content constantly updated, so you can keep up with your dynamic environment.
- Integration with Mu Studio Performance to make the testing quicker and more intuitive.
