Acceptance testing
Testronic Labs can help you define the right test requirements and test cases. We can then implement test cases tailored to a given network specification to support the acceptance of IRD hardware and software. Naturally Testronic Labs can not only define and setup, but also execute and manage the acceptance test cycles.
Maintenance testing
When a component is introduced to the digital television network or changes take place that may affect the operation of the digital TV receivers in the network, Testronic Labs can define and execute proper maintenance test cycles.
Test Program development
When there is a high requirement for ongoing for testing, it may make sense for Testronic Labs to propose a conformance or certification program for the IRD software or hardware tailored to your requirements. The conformance or certification tests can be performed as a pre-condition to the clients already established quality processes - or integrated into the clients main quality strategy.
