Protocol

Deployment of products with multiple features and protocols increases the need for testing of these products multifold depending on the number of features supported. MindTree understands the challenges of protocol testing for different kinds of products (Communication, Storage, Consumer, and Automotive) and brings domain knowledge on different protocol suites and rich experience of these product deployment scenarios.

Conformance testing is essential for products supporting protocols. MindTree’s testing team has good understanding of the protocols that are supported in communication products (such as L2/L3 or WLAN), storage products (such as FibreChannel, iSCSI, Infiniband), consumer products (MP3 in Audio, BlueTooth in phones), and automotive electronics (using CANbus protocol).

With its unique methodology for performing system testing for the products supporting different protocol features, In-depth understanding of the deployment scenarios by MindTree’s team enables good coverage for the products before they are released into the market. Coupled with the automation experience, MindTree team is well positioned to offer regression testing and system testing.

MindTree offers interoperability testing on different products. With rich experience, MindTree team has built capability to take the products through pre-certification process of different governing bodies (BQB pre-qualification for BlueTooth). While offering the test consulting services for system testing, MindTree has built experienced teams to offer black box test execution. With experienced teams for test automation, MindTree offers test framework integration or test case automation for the product regression testing.

Protocol Testing Methodologies

MindTree has defined and adopted different methodologies for testing the products across multiple platforms.

• Risk based scenario testing is our way of identifying the risks of the systems (or) product to prioritize testing for these scenarios and exhaustively testing the risk prone scenarios
• Identifying and automating the regression suites using the automation test framework (ATF)
• Framework development for the protocol testing of different protocols

Benefits

• Experienced team with experience in protocol testing and automation
• Communications framework for offering readymade test plans, test cases, processes, and methodologies with automation
• Experience with different traffic generators (like IXIA) and performance tools (like iPerf)
• Shared tools and resources
• MindTree’s automation framework for automating the regression suite
