The Mu IP Service Testing Solution
Mu's IP service testing solutions provide a fresh approach designed
specifically for automated and customized testing of IP services. With
Mu’s Test Suite, operators and vendor quality assurance (QA) teams
quickly, accurately and thoroughly test IP services across the
development and deployment lifecycles.
What the industry needs is Mu's unique approach to testing that includes the following capabilities:
- Accurately model the logic of a complex IP Service
- Quickly drive multiple datasets through the service to exhaustively test it
- Systematically and consistently test multiple aspects of the service
The Mu test solution comprises of:
Test generation capabilities that accurately reflect the logic of the service.
Multiple test generation capabilities enable the dynamic and rapid creation of
large numbers of test scenarios that accurately reflect the service logic. These
test cases are generated from a rich set of inputs, including content from
customers, Mu and the broader testing community.
Test execution engines that quickly drive complex service datasets. The
test execution engines can dynamically execute a large number of tests with a
rich set of data inputs. They execute and analyze results automatically. During
the test, the Mu solution uses its comprehensive set of monitors to observe the
ongoing health of the services and network devices. The solution is highly
automated and supports lights-out, 24x7 testing. At the conclusion of the test, the
Mu solution creates a remediation toolkit for expediting issue resolution.
Platform purpose-built for multiple test types. Once test assets are created,
they are used to test multiple aspects of the service (often within multiple teams
or among the provider-vendor, ISV and operator) such as functionality, security,
interoperability and resilience. With Mu, there are no limits to reusing these test
assets. The ability to reuse assets across organizations and across a variety of
test phases dramatically reduces the total cost of testing within organizations.
This solution can be applied within multiple testing disciplines such as:
- Functional Testing.
Development and Test teams can quickly create tests that check if
individual features and functionality of the service behave as expected.
- Interoperability Testing.
Test and Customer Support teams can quickly test for interoperability
against other vendor systems or run regression tests against older
versions of their own software.
- Resilience Testing.
Test teams can quickly generate thousands of tests to measure how the
service behaves from a resilience perspective. The Mu Test Suite
provides a set of carefully chosen fuzz test patterns that are designed
to expose unknown weaknesses in an IP Service.
- Security Testing.
Test teams can leverage the Mu Test Suite to perform comprehensive
security testing against the IP Service. Published vulnerabilities,
Denial of Service attacks and fuzz testing can be performed to
thoroughly test the security aspects of the IP Service.
