Customer ChallengesBy introducing a second way of addressing endpoints, IPv6 migration has ramifications from the lowest OSI level all the way up to the application layer. Without an effective IPv6 test methodology, this initiative is both time-consuming and labor intensive. | The Mu SolutionLeveraging the traffic capture that represents the properly functioning IPv4-based services, Mu makes it easy to extend your library of IPv4-based test cases so that they can be leveraged to test IPv6. Existing IPv4 test cases can be converted to IPv6 in an automated fashion. |
- IPv6 Migration nightmares
IP Services running over IPv4 must be re-tested over IPv6. Migrating existing test plans and test assets for IPv4-based services into IPv6 is often manual, thus costly, time consuming and error-prone. | - Mu’s IPv6 migration testing solution auto-captures traffic from your unique IPv4 environment, and then auto-generates a comprehensive IPv6 test suite consisting of custom-tailored tests based on these packet captures.
|
- Interoperability challenges
Interoperability testing across multiple IP versions is currently expensive and labor-intensive. | - Mu’s realistic, stateful recreation of IPv4 and IPv6 flows enables it to accurately emulate different components in native and dual-stack environments. Automated regression testing minimizes manual setup of third-party client devices and versions.
|
- Creating new tests
New code is developed for many existing applications and services so they function correctly in a native or a dual-stack environment. IPv6 test teams must quickly come up with new tests to test the new code. | - Mu’s adaptive IPv6 testing approach and its data-driven testing help you rapidly generate thousands of test cases to test the complex interactions of your unique system.
|
- Security concerns
For important network equipment, such as DPI, IPS and firewalls, identifying application traffic flows over IPv6 can be challenging. This is critical especially because many IPv6 service users are government agencies. | - Mu has more IPv6 testing expertise than traditional test vendors. Mu has natively supported the IPv6 transport for years, and can help you thoroughly test these in-line devices to ensure they function correctly over IPv6.
|
- Skyrocketing costs
The cost of fixing defects found too late in the development lifecycle may be over twenty times more expensive than if those issues had been found earlier in the development or deployment life cycle. | - Mu's IPv6 testing solution provides automatic generation of thousands of malformed fuzz tests. This greatly increases test coverage, helps you find bugs earlier, greatly reducing the cost of fixes by finding the issues as early as possible.
