Q&A

What is CDRouter?

• CDRouter™ is the networking industry's leading test solution for Cable, DSL, SOHO, and wireless router testing.

• By emulating the complex networking protocols used in both WAN and LAN environments, CDRouter provides a powerful automated test environment for different types of test activities including functional testing, protocol scaling, negative testing, and regression testing.

• CDRouter's in-depth feature set and advanced test control enables shorter test cycles and greater test coverage while freeing up your company's talent from repetitive testing.

Why do we need CDRouter for testing?

• Test over 50 different IP protocols with one testing product

• Fully automated testing

• Dramatically reduce testing time with increased confidence in product reliability

• Reduce the risk of product failure

• Expose protocol issues that are too difficult to test manually

Why do we need CDRouter for testing?

• Create an instant regression testbed for future releases in development

• Become part of a larger testing community

• Execute tests using web interface or command-line

How CDRouter works?

• CDRouter is a software application that runs on Linux. Once installed, CDRouter can be controlled from a web browser(BuddyWeb) or the Linux command-line.

How CDRouter works?

1. Install CDRouter software on a Linux host2. Physically connect your CPE device to CDRouter (Eth,

802.11, ATM, T1, etc)3. Create a configuration file that describes your test

network4. Start a test run using BuddyWeb or the Linux

command-line5. CDRouter automatically creates all required LAN and

WAN devices and services6. Run individual test cases or entire suite once or many

times7. View your test results

BuddyWeb Homepage

From the BuddyWeb homepage, you have quick links to Configurations, Packages, current activity, and recent Results. All with the click of your mouse!

Live Results

While you are running a test, the Live Status page is updated in real-time, so you can see exactly how far along you are in the test process. BuddyWeb uses cutting-edge technology to provide you with easy access to millions results and logs.

Trace Highlighting

Exclusive to BuddyWeb is the automatic highlighting, numbering, and integrated filtering of log files. By coloring and shading important lines, or by omitting information you don't need, you can read and analyze traces faster, and get back to testing sooner.

CDRouter Automation

• Purpose:– The matrix test cases can be ongoing without being

interrupted for setting DUT when use CD Router to do testing.

– Testing can run for 24 hours.

– Increasing testing coverage.

– Do not need engineer to care about the testing.
