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.
