Quality Assurance Testing

Test. Improve. Repeat.

Manufacturers rely on Quality Assurance (QA) testing to maximize customer satisfaction and minimize costly after-sales troubleshooting and support. One of the best known drivers behind QA testing is the ISO 9000 standard, but there are many others.

Valkyrie is frequently used for QA testing of Ethernet products by stress testing them under diverse environmental conditions.

EMC Tests
Mechanical Tests
Thermal/Humidity Tests
Hi-Pot Tests
Sand and Dust Tests
Salt Spray Tests

In this form of QA testing, Valkyrie generates Ethernet traffic (from outside a test chamber) through the DUT to verify it performs as expected. Other features like timestamping and industry-leading automation options make Valkyrie ideal for QA testing.

… about QA testing

Terabit Ethernet - Why

In this, the first of two White Papers exploring Terabit Ethernet, we look at the commercial factors driving the development of Terabit Ethernet and 800G.

Performance Characterization of Virtual NGFWs

How to test the performance of virtual enterprise firewalls using Safire.

Terabit Ethernet - How?

The new White Paper dives into the technical details. Called "Terabit Ethernet - How", it covers how Ethernet speeds beyond 400Gbps require changes to the Ethernet physical layer as well as the implications for first movers in this pre-IEEE standardization phase.

Plotting the performance landscape for 5G RAN Packet Networks

In this white paper, we’ll look at why Ethernet impairment testing is crucial in developing, testing, and deploying successful 5G fronthaul networks.
