Feasibility study

Characterization of the hardware of the TestFarm station and in particular of the actuators, probes, product or subset of the product to be tested.
Definition of the physical access points (I/O) to the product to be tested, with their characteristics.
Definition of the performances of the test system on the access points.
Characterization of the installation and of the access policy to the TestFarm system(s).
Estimate of the workloads according to the type of implementation.

The TestFarm station is interfaced with the hardware which encapsulates the software to be tested, and is thus specific to your application. Besides, according to whether the system is used for validation, investigation or software development support, the composition of the TestFarm station may vary. Consequently, the service always starts with a feasibility study defining the composition of the system.

The feasibility study leads to a detailed specification document which defines the TestFarm system. It consists in analyzing the type of use envisaged, the I/O hardware access to the software and the characteristics of the tests to be carried out.
