Many companies have capital equipment spread across many test labs in different locations. That makes it hard for testers to know if devices with the correct configuration are available and difficult to provision them with the right software for testing.
Wind River Test Management includes a virtual lab manager (VLM) that provides tight integration of test target management with test execution and analytics, simplifying lab setup and management and providing a full life cycle test-device audit trail. The VLM saves time and hassle when working with test lab devices and allows maximum utilization of people and capital equipment resources.
Organize and Reserve Networked Devices
- Enable easy setup of virtual lab groupings of test equipment in local labs or across corporate networks.
- Facilitate fast and effective searches for needed equipment.
- Make it easy to reserve and check out testing equipment.
- Provide an effective tracking mechanism for equipment utilization.
Remotely Provision Builds
- Enable a "push-button" ability to track and load new software builds.
- Save time while ensuring correct test configurations.
- Leverage terminal servers or power controllers to remotely access and reboot devices.
Manage Multi-core Devices and Test Beds
- Control and run tests against multiple cores or devices simultaneously.
- Manage built-in run-time analytics to gather white-box data from the live device under test.
- Deploy test coverage analysis, performance measurement, fault injection, or dynamic diagnostics instrumentation across multiple cores or processors.
Tight Integration with Test Execution
- Avoid hard-coding IP addresses into test scripts.
- Assign test suites to available devices at run-time.
- Automatically map test execution to selected devices.
- Record and track the results in the system's database.
