Manufacturing and Q&A Testing

The manufacturing and quality assurance (QA) test applications performs multiple, functional tests of a given technology. The speed, accuracy, reliability, scalability, and scripting capability makes the Xena testers ideally suited for this application.

The Xena testers can help NEMs improve production quality to near zero failure rates after shipment. Automated tests based on IETF RFCs, such as RFC 2544, quickly deliver pass/fail results so users can isolate a fault on a switch automatically. The RFC tests provide an industry-standard methodology for testing advanced switches.

If an automated RFC test fails, the user can debug the device with an interactive GUI in real time to quickly isolate the problem. In addition, the user can switch between automated tests and interactive control without changing applications.
