Automation,
Actions and Remediation
The Mu-4000 analyzer automates a rigorous, systematic and repeatable process to improve the reliability, availability, and security of networked products and applications. The
automation capabilities common to all modules deliver many key service analysis
processes. These include:
- recognizing user-defined fault conditions
- automatically isolating them to specific scenario(s)
- restarting the target in the event that it crashes or becomes non-responsive
- exporting a package of
remediation tools for developers to reproduce and fix the fault
- integration with HP Quality Center
- regression testing.

Automated Fault Isolation
The Mu-4000's advanced analysis engine accurately pinpoints problem areas, making problem identification and resolution a lot easier. The flexible user-defined fault definitions can use criteria like log output, system load, code coverage, etc. This enables network operators and their suppliers find not only outright system crashes but also poor response time that affects service availability. The latter type of “soft” faults often goes undetected, and is traditionally very difficult to isolate and fix.
HP Quality Center Integration
Mu-4000 analysis results can be exported into existing HP Quality Center projects through a simple browser interface. Attack results are summarized for easy reference and all remediation tools are attached to the Test Set. The benefit of this integration is that customers who use HP Quality Center can now more easily share Mu results with all project stakeholders.
Remediation Tools
Mu-4000's remediation framework provides actionable information to streamline the interaction between network operations and suppliers, making it much efficient to reproduce and fix problems. The Mu-4000 provides sophisticated, customizable reports include captured data as well as configuration templates.
