QualiSystems Accelerates Cloud Infrastructure Testing

SANTA CLARA, California, May 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ –

Please visit QualiSystems at Interop Las Vegas – Booth 2059

QualiSystems [http://www.qualisystems.com ] announced today its TestShell enterprise
software framework’s compatibility for advanced testing of the cloud infrastructure
[http://www.qualisystems.com/site/content/t11.asp?Sid=83&Pid=715 ], covering lab
management, device provisioning and test automation. Using TestShell, cloud testers can
accelerate automation and simplify the time-consuming and complex task of mimicking cloud
infrastructure in the lab to assure performance and bring new services rapidly to the
market.

TestShell’s advanced user-friendly features allow network, storage and test engineers
to easily adapt to the dynamic cloud-computing testing environment. By offering a holistic
solution that requires no programming skills, it is simpler and quicker for cloud
architecture, designers and testers to accomplish set-up and testing of the
infrastructure. The different cloud components that must interoperate – computing,
services, storage and networking – are each tested individually and in concert to assure
performance, stability, security, QoE and QoS using TestShell.

With a flowchart-based test editor, TestShell offers cloud testers the ability to
automate a large range of test scenarios to simulate multiple iterations and massive
network traffic by large number of users prior to deployment. The framework simplifies
management of the cloud testing environment through vendor-agnostic integration and
central control of all test equipment, devices and technologies, such as FC/FCoE switches,
storage servers, virtualized machines, new 40/100 gigabit ports, management/monitoring
software and more. Utilization of costly network equipment is measured and increased by
allowing advanced sharing capabilities between users and across sites.

“With a drastically more complex environment that relies on combining several emerging
technologies, cloud testers face growing challenges ranging from the required technical
knowledge to the large integration spectrum essential for testing,” says Eitan Lavie, vice
president of product & marketing at QualiSystems. “One of TestShell’s key strengths is its
ability to provide a holistic approach for management and automation of the cloud-testing
environment thereby alleviating the pain point for the testers behind the cloud.”

The TestShell framework is already used by leading industry vendors, suitable for test
and lab automation in the cloud, datacenter
[http://www.qualisystems.com/site/content/t11.asp?Sid=83&Pid=716 ] and network
infrastructure. For a demo, please visit http://www.qualisystems.com/tsdemo
