Medusa Labs
Initial Evaluation
Medusa Labs provides initial evaluation services for products to establish
a baseline of the product's functionality, data integrity, stress testing,
usability, inter-operability, and performance. This information is used
to determine how the product stacks up against competitive products and
to determine the scope of any further testing required. Upon completion
of the initial evaluation, Medusa Labs will recommend a path for the products
continued testing in the functional, product, or enterprise levels and
will describe and categorize the issues discovered in the evaluation.
The evaluation will generally include the following areas. The ability
to complete a thorough evaluation is highly dependent on the current capabilities
of the device(s) and the issues encountered.
Functional Evaluation
An evaluation of the device's ability to perform as expected by an educated
user. Evaluation of the feature set will be limited to those features
deemed most critical to the functionality of the device. Basic adherence
to the protocols, specifications, environments, and standards for which
it was designed (Specification compliance will not be tested.)
Data Integrity and Stress Testing
The device will be subjected to high stress I/O tests of increasing magnitude
in order to baseline the extent to which the device can be 'pushed' in
an enterprise environment. The ability to transfer data in an accurate
and timely manner without limiting bottlenecks will be monitored. Stress
testing will be conducted with the Medusa Labs Test Tool Suite, which
includes comprehensive data integrity analysis.
Interoperability Evaluation
Interoperability with other devices in a bound, predefined configuration.
This testing will be performed using common enterprise devices.
Performance Evaluation
Basic evaluation of maximum and minimum performance with sequential/random
reads, writes and full duplex I/O.
Since 1997, Gillaspy Associates has built
a solid reputation for developing strong relationships with our customers
by providing quality solutions and ongoing support.
