Test Automation for Network Routing Devices

Test automation has significant competitive advantages throughout the development and deployment of network devices. It not only provides unrivaled benefits when test scenarios are complex, time-consuming to configure, or frequently repeated, but also becomes crucial when tests must compare devices from different vendors or provide critical ’pass/fail’ results. One of the key features of a good test automation system is its ability to provide tests that are fast, repeatable, and simple to customize. In addition, test results should be clearly graphed and consistently presented so they are easy to compare.

This paper discusses the advantages of using automated test systems and lists the tests you should consider automating when testing the functionality and performance of next-generation routing devices.
