Typical SDN-based Network Virtualization The architecture rolled out can be one of the following: Pure-overlay : Programmable virtual data plane elements (vDP) are inserted into edge servers and controlled by the controller cluster. They form overlay networks using tunnels that are routed over the legacy network fabric. The gateway can be physical or virtual, and participates in the overlay networking. Pure-underlay : SDN-enabled top-of-rack or leaf physical switches are deployed and controlled by the controller cluster. The hardware may or may not expose an open API (like OpenFlow). The controller integrates with the VM manager to obtain all information essential to create virtual networks that originate from the server. Combined (aka, P+V or Overlay-Underlay): Vendors are converging towards an architecture where Overlay and Underlay work together to provide both flexibility and performance. This architecture achieves end-to-end visibility and seamless control. ...

Businesses worldwide are automating their processes to improve efficiency and reduce costs. The primary objective behind Business Process Automation (BPA) is to generalize processes in order to improve process efficiency and streamline workflow. BPA plays a key role in improving process efficiency by allowing organizations to improve their service levels by integrating various services and connectors. BPA is now an increasingly popular concept as more and more businesses are adopting this emerging trend. So, what are the challenges faced by the industry while implementing BPM ? Is software testing a challenge while developing applications using BPM tools? And what is workflow testing? What strategy needs to be followed to execute business workflow testing? Let’s find out. In order to perform software testing of applications developed using popular BPM tools such as Bonitasoft , you need to undertake two types of testing: Workflow Testing Performance testing Let’s tr...

SOA Test Approach Purpose Testing SOA could be viewed as a complex computing problem. With any complex problem, the key is to break it down into smaller, more manageable components and build quality into these deliverables. The foundations to successful SOA testing are as follows: Equal weighting of testing effort throughout the project life cycle. Many organizations still fail to recognize the real benefits of static and formal review techniques during the early stages of the project. Most or all of the testing effort comes too late at the end of the project life cycle. More testing effort will be required at a service (program) level. The SOA test team is a blend of business domain and technology experts. Design the project test approach alongside the project business and technical requirements. Budget for the Test team to be involved from the start of the project. Implement Quality Controls throughout the project life cycle. Security Testing is not an end of project acti...

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the interconnection of uniquely identifiable embedded computing like devices with the existing Internet infrastructure. With Internet of Things (IoT) coming into prevalence the world is becoming increasingly connected and companies providing IoT testing services are emerging. From security systems, appliances, other emerging connected devices to the mobile apps are moving beyond computers, tablets and smartphones to just about every connected devices we can imagine. Users don’t care why your product has failed in the connected chain and with time users will become more accustomed to connected devices and the Internet of Things (IoT), they’ll expect the new technologies to work flawlessly from the inception. The companies that focus on quality will ultimately be the brands that win. And IoT products testing will be the game changer. A comprehensive  QA(Quality Assurance)  strategy is required to cover the depth and breadth of IoT tes...

Embedded software has been around for years, going back to the dawn of computers. Traditionally we tested these devices in isolation and did not worry about user interfaces (if there was one) or things such as internet connectivity. The connectivity of devices started not long after the internet’s arrival. However, in recent years the so called “internet of things” (IOT) has become of more importance and certainly more newsworthy as its use is growing rapidly. IoT devices will share the development and test issues found in embedded software systems as well as more traditional IT/Web systems. With the growth in numbers of IoT devices and software projects the need for testers and approaches for these devices will likewise increase. Testers coming from these historic environments will face different testing challenges and bugs. This article outlines some starting points for those going into IoT testing and offers considerations for those already testing IoTs. Testing is a large subje...
