Large scale system test

Testing of geographically distributed systems with many nodes and devices with complex networking infrastructures

Michael has led the testing of systems where scale has been a significant factor requiring the use of simulation and advanced test facilities:

VMS systems displaying up to 100 video streams
Video recording of 800 video streams with 3Gbps bandwidth and 100s TB storage
Radio networks with 50+ base stations and 10000s mobile devices
call signalling for nationwide mobile networks
networks spread across timezones, satellite links and low-bandwidth wide area infrastructure

The work has required:

Planning of test approach to cover risks
Specification of tools required to simulate parts of system
Specification of tools required to control and observe system under test
Story point estimation and sprint planning
Holding reviews with teams delivering components on test readiness
Leading and managing project wide bug reviews and triage
