8 TYPES OF TESTS Performance Testing Vulcan offers a solution that with minimum configuration Measuring performance, capacity and responsiveness of network devices is important to determine the overall user experience. effort can do measures within performance, capacity and latency for network devices providing functionality such as: Layer 1 throughput and application goodput measurements reveals bottlenecks • causing retransmissions and loss that can help optimizing network devices and IP routing, Network Address Translation • Stateful and content-based Traffic filtering infrastructures. The responsiveness of a network device is characterized as • Traffic shaping sessions per sec., as well as application transactions per sec. Capacity is • characterized by how many simultaneous sessions/traffic flows it can handle.

9 TYPES OF TESTS Functional Testing Vulcan offer a solution that with its TCP/UDP and VulcanAppMix can verify Verifying correct implementation of network devices during development is network devices providing functionality such as: crucial, but often overseen is validation of correct configuration during and after deployment. • IP routing, Network Address Translation • Stateful and content-based Traffic filtering Use VulcanManager to define test cases targeting specific functionality. • Traffic shaping With the built-in high-performance TCP, UDP and application library • Intrusion Detection and Preventing Systems VulcanAppMix, simple to very complex traffic scenarios spanning over multiple test ports can be configured.

10 TYPES OF TESTS QoS and Service Validation WAN testing can also take place over large geographical Vulcan makes it easy to test the capacity and performance of WANs (& SD-WANs) of distances requiring simultaneous control over multiple traffic service providers and large enterprise networks – where the focus is more on generators. For that Vulcan offers a perfect solution to; in a system-wide performance. centralized manner orchestra separated test ports all over the world. Relevant test parameters are: • End-to-end throughput and latency in a managed IP network • Optimal Maximum Segment Size (MSS). • Traffic prioritization using Differentiated Services (DS) and other QoS mechanisms. • Verify guaranteed bandwidths according to SLAs.

11 TYPES OF TESTS Security Testing The increasingly demands for security in terms of both privacy, trust as well as This includes network functionality such as: • protecting systems from data leak and intrusion requires means for both TLS encryption /decryption • performance and functional testing. Deep packet inspection • Content based traffic filtering • With Vulcans TLS features and application replay, performance and behavior of Intrusion detection and preventing systems. security devices can be verified. In focus for such test are both the ability to detect security breach, but also to verify that the implemented security means works as expected under high load.
