Experience the freedom of software.
Dedicated hardware probes are expensive and lack portability, and are poorly suited for evolving virtualized networks. DVQattest's pure software test agents allow almost any network device - virtual or physical - to be an active probe, providing end-to-end performance testing at minimal cost.
- Compact software test agents for Linux, Windows, Android
- Runs in virtualized environments (SDN/NFV)
- Deploys on standard servers/PCs at key points in the network
- Embeds directly into network infrastructure - routers, switches, STBs, CPE
- Run tests to/from mobile user handsets and tablets
Test and troubleshoot where you want, when you want.
DVQattest's software test agents are always at the ready, running unobtrusively as background tasks (Windows/Android service or Linux daemon).
- Test end-to-end across network core, edge, branch offices, remote sites, customer premises
- Troubleshoot VoIP, video, data performance to/between mobile users
- Test availability and response time for Web, email, DNS, DHCP servers
- Run tests from agent to agent, or from agent to SIP device, e.g. an IP phone
A test solution you won't outgrow.
As networks expand to new frontiers, DVQattest is ready.
- Manage hundreds of distributed test agents with one controller application
- Scale outward at any time by deploying additional agents
- Scale up performance by adding system resources (CPU/memory) to agent host platform
- Easily add new features and capabilities (e.g. number of concurrent tests per agent) using license keys
Why take chances with network performance?
Deploying new services and applications on an existing data network can cause unpredictable behavior, performance dips, instability or worse. For a smooth launch with no surprises, use DVQattest to identify and eliminate potential problems beforehand.
- Generate high numbers of voice and video test calls (soak testing)
- Assess voice/video performance and impact on existing infrastructure
- Measure point-to-point throughput, packet loss, jitter, delay
- Locate, diagnose and eliminate performance pitfalls
Send packets, not trucks.
DVQattest offers powerful remote troubleshooting and diagnostic tools to maintain top performance in networks of every type, size and scale.
- Easily test between any two points - branch/remote offices, campuses, hospital or government sites, and more
- Pinpoint the exact source of poor performance - core, aggregation, edge network, "last mile" / customer premises, etc.
- Identify and troubleshoot a range of problems without deploying hardware probes or making costly service calls
Service assurance made simple.
Whether you're a service provider or a business customer, DVQattest's SLA tests provide an easy way to confirm that networks, services and applications are performing as they should.
- Verify VoIP and videoconferencing service quality with automated test calls
- Monitor server availability and response time - Web, Email, DHCP, DNS
- Measure network path performance - bandwidth, packet loss, jitter, delay
- Minimize financial impact by detecting and diagnosing problems early
Key Features in DVQattest 2.1
Distributed Test Agents for Windows, Linux and Android
DVQattest's pure software test agents can run on standard PC/server hardware, routers and other network equipment, mobile devices and virtual machines.
In-Depth Quality Testing for IP Voice and Video Services
Agents make test calls with a broad range of voice / video codecs and payloads, using integrated VQmon® to analyze media and SIP signaling performance.
Easy Automated and On-Demand Testing
Agents can generate from single tests up to hundreds of concurrent tests, on a configured schedule or on the fly.
Fast Network Performance Analysis and Troubleshooting
Advanced per-hop path testing measures packet loss, jitter and delay, and identifies many common problems including access link congestion and low bandwidth.
Sophisticated Application Peformance Testing
Agents can perform a wide range of server transactions to quickly test the availability and performance of Web, Email, DNS and DHCP services.
View and Analyze Test Results Immediately in SQmediator®
Telchemy's active/passive performance management application provides an intuitive web user interface for fast drill-down into critical diagnostic information.
Voice over IP Testing
DVQattest's software test agents make it easy to check VoIP performance any time, anywhere by placing scheduled or on-demand test calls between any two points in the network. DVQattest accurately simulates VoIP calls with a wide range of voice codecs and payloads, providing real-time performance feedback including MOS scores, SIP signaling analysis and deep diagnostics that cut straight to the source of call quality problems.
IP Video Testing
Using DVQattest, you can easily test and troubleshoot the performance of streaming video, IPTV or IP videoconferencing delivered to any point in your network, including customer premises and mobile users. Test agents simulate a broad range of video formats including 4K/Ultra HD, and provide immediate QoE scores, performance data and signaling metrics for both on-demand and scheduled tests.
Network Application & Service Testing
DVQattest performs a range of server transactions to test the availability, functionality and response time of Web, Email, DNS and DHCP servers. Easily measure and troubleshoot network performance with path diagnostic tests to any target IP address, or run peer-to-peer agent tests to quickly detect and diagnose impairments like packet loss, jitter and delay between any two points.
