QualiSystems' Test and Lab Automation Framework Secures Equipment Access in the Network Testing Lab

SANTA CLARA, California, September 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

QualiSystems today announced the TestShell 4.8's ability to maintain secured access to lab equipment. Only TestShell has the capability to streamline lab managers' control over lab devices and improve testing lab efficiency through remote scheduled access.

With the new device access control capability, TestShell 4.8 brings the highest level of protection available for mature lab testing environments. Whereas other solutions merely alert users that a device has been targeted for testing, TestShell offers secure device reservations to guarantee uninterrupted testing processes by blocking access to topology-reserved devices. In addition, lab managers can completely eliminate device-access by unauthorized intruders who may intend to break into an organization's network lab.

TestShell's access control is achieved by providing a single protect path for interacting with lab devices through integration with firewalls and access switches if used, and by allowing users to define an open or closed path according to the device reservation time span. In the latest TestShell version, commands to launch equipment without a prior reservation will be ignored, while testing-related applications can be initiated directly from the interactive topology diagram to speed up and simplify the test-topology creation processes.

The device access control capability also allows testing managers to create reservations for external users who will then be notified of their reservation via email. At the beginning of the reserved time period, a secure channel opens in the firewall for the outside tester to access needed equipment under test. After the application is completed, the firewall closes and further access is denied.

"TestShell 4.8 was designed to accelerate lab management and automation and offers upgraded user experience and powerful collaboration capabilities to network testing teams that implemented the framework in the lab," notes Eitan Lavie, VP Product and Marketing of QualiSystems. "The device control access capability strengthens lab managers' competency to control lab devices and operations, acting as an invisible barrier against test interruption while offering the authorized user a set of tools for increased working efficiency."
