Cloud Platform Testing and DR Monitoring Software Development

Challenge

Our client is a global leader in Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) and cloud services. The company’s new cloud product platform allows their customers to integrate cloud services into multi-cloud deployments for requirements, such as data protection, application delivery, and edge locations. The challenge was to ensure product reliability, peak performance and 100% product uptime before general release.

Scope

The scope of the project included the development of new Disaster Recovery (DR) monitoring software and its test framework.

Solution

The solution included:

• Complete test framework development; predominantly automated testing with manual as applicable; dedicated team of QA engineers,

• Developed cloud DR monitoring software for tracking data, events and trends using analytics, workflows and customising actions,

• DR feature testing, including hourly automated test runs and failure triaging, as well as automated performance testing of critical features such as synchronous data replication. 

Outcome

• Evolved best practices were benchmarked and incorporated in future test plans for effective defect reporting, resulting in continuous improvement of the storage product quality index,

• Automated testing project management process with defect tracking and agile project management tools,

• Achieved shift-left testing with test automation.
