Case Study
Storage Platform Firmware Testing
Test planning and estimation, compilation of test suite, test automation and execution
Challenge
The client, a leading provider of network storage services, hybrid cloud data services, and data management, was utilizing a third-party entity’s firmware for its product components. A thorough understanding of this firmware was required in order to perform end-to-end verification of the product.
Scope
Validation of remote management module, BIOS, Flash Cache, NVRAM/NVMEM.
Testing of management device with a MIPS processor running embedded Linux, network stack and user space programs.
Solution
