7 TYPES OF TESTS Vantage is used for performance testing through 5 types of tests.
8 TYPES OF TESTING Production-line Testing Router er t tes est: Bi-directional traffic generation between WAN and LAN ports, could be multiple LAN ports to single WAN port, or one WAN port to multiple LAN ports. Test of throughput and failures. The test may be configured with values for packet size, bandwidth, packet loss and other stream parameters. The result of the test is a pass/fail message. In the case of fail details about the failure for later analysis. Tw Two-way i y inter eraction t tes est: Generate traffic between all ports, or between odd and even ports, or one direction traffic generation, with or without VLAN tagged frames. The result of the test is a pass/fail message and in the case of fail details about the failure for later analysis. Aggreg egation t n test: Supports one-to-many and many-to-one traffic generation Loopback t tes est: a configurable number of ports on e.g. a DUT such as a switch or a router. The test may be configured with values for packet size, bandwidth, packet loss and other stream parameters. The result of the test is a pass/fail message and in the case of fail details about the failure for later analysis. PON ON a aggregation t n test: Traffic is transmitted one-to-many and packets are sent both up and downlink. The test may be configured with values for packet size, bandwidth, packet loss and other stream parameters. The result of the test is a pass/fail message and in the case of fail details about the failure for later analysis.
9 TYPES OF TESTING Testcases Library Vantage's advanced software architecture allows the user to produce its own test cases. Xena professional service can customize the test case for clients as needed

16 SOFTWARE We work hard to make sure your job easy. All our software is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly.
17 SOFTWARE VantageManager The only software you need to use Vantage. Python based Web UI to configure and generate streams of Ethernet traffic between your Vantage tester and devices under test (DUTs) and then analyze the results. Included for free with every Vantage system. Latest version can always be downloaded here Very easy automated configuration Flexible software: allows tester to add more testcases as needed.
18 SOFTWARE Intelligent Cyclic Test Vantage will repeat the same test with no interactive operation needed, the tester will detect the port connection and link status automatically, then it will rerun the test once the link is up.
19 SOFTWARE DUT Serial Number Two ways to acquire DUT Serial Numbers: 1. Input SN via keyboard or a scanner devices 2. Use DUT’s MAC address as SN
20 SOFTWARE UI: Tester press start Wait until DUT link up MES Database UI: Tester select Tester connects DUT Start test configuration and portmap Detect Mac address The figure below shows the tester workflow for a (SN) from DUT tester at a sample customer. It shows how Vantage easily integrates with the customers’ own Communicate with the production database environment. MES Database Return value The process which marked with red circles all no Test failed = 0 ? involves communication with the external customer Tester replaces DUT yes MES DB. with next DUT Vantage can store results in the MES DB in a number Execute test for DUT of ways: - Directly via the network to the MES DB for yes example via a MSSQL connection Test abort Test abort? - Directly via the network using the HTTP / REST no protocol Add to Van results DB - Indriectly via a customer propriety Windows DLL, in chassis which is run on any PC or server attached to Wait until DUT link Vantage via the network down Communicate with the MES Database Return value no yes Test failed = 0 ?
21 SOFTWARE Test Result UI VANTAGE • Tx packets MANAGER • Rx packets • Latency • Test date • SN number • Tx bytes • Rx bytes
22 SOFTWARE Reporting Text Test Report PDF Test Report
23 SOFTWARE User Management VANTAGE MANAGER • Vantage support multiple users in the one chassis • Different users with different administration rights
24 SOFTWARE Vantage REST API Top features Client-less, language-agnostic, chassis embedded REST API server. Lets you build automation scripts with your choice of language, tool and client environment. Supports the same functions that are available on the vantage UI. You may create test configurations, create and run tests, retrieve test results as JSON data etc. Rest event callback functions The REST API supports subscriptions to events such as test start, no available, test finished, test failed and more. By setting up callback URLs it is possible to implement complex client scripts that can interact with the Vantage software before, during and after test execution. In fact the MES database Windows DLL support described in the previous slides was implemented entirely using the Vantage REST API.
25 Key Features These are Vantage’s most powerful technical features.
26 KEY FEATURES User Friendly UI 1 2 Only 3 buttons to complete a test! 1. Select the test configuration 2. Select the port 3 3. Click the Start button
27 KEY FEATURES DUT port LED status displaying Port status of each test; Port status on the "Test Now" Page:
28 KEY FEATURES Powerful Telnet feature via test ports Vantage Telnet API and UI script allows users to retrieve its DUT ports info through Vantage test ports, for example: Regedit status checking, USB checking LED checking, DUT configuration uploading (PON test) etc. log "Login to DUT..." log recuntil "login: " sendln "admin" recuntil "Password: " sendln "12345" recuntil " >" log "Login successfull..."
29 KEY FEATURES Test suite combination Allows the user to program its task list by combining multiple test cases - up to 10 – and to implement them in sequence, on the same test ports and DUT.
