"We used Shunra's solution for wide area network emulation during development and quality testing of Adobe® Flash® Media® Server 3.5. VE Desktop Professional provides an accurate, real-world network model with the ability to emulate bandwidth, packet loss and latency, which is essential for us to meet our rigorous Quality of Service goals," said Srinivas Manapragada, senior engineering manager at Adobe. "Accommodating a dynamic network with streaming services is complex, Shunra helped us fine tune the logic and the behavior of the algorithm for conditions that we could not otherwise test."
Adobe used the solution to help test the Adobe Flash Media Server 3.5 software, a high capacity streaming media server with real-time communication capabilities. Incorporating VE Desktop Professional at the initial development stages, the team was able to validate software that manages multiple bit rate delivery within Adobe's dynamic streaming technology found inside Flash Media Server. This software handled code and performance issues before entering Adobe's rigorous quality assurance process. The Adobe engineering team was able to improve quality and reduce the number of issues found.
"Testing networked software and services is essential to ensure Quality of Experience (QoE) and performance of software that is required to operate over wide area networks," said Matt Reid, VP of Worldwide Marketing, Shunra Software. "Customers such as Adobe use Shunra VE Desktop to implement early development lifecycle testing, making it easier to address design and implementation problems before production rollout. This approach is proven to save staff time, reduce overall product release spend and ultimately provide a better experience for end-users."
Shunra VE Desktop Professional 5.0 makes it easy to pinpoint and resolve problems including chatty applications, latency-sensitive transactions, caching inefficiencies, bandwidth constraints and other network performance conditions. Software development and quality assurance test scenarios can be shared by users and managed from a central repository. The product is ideal for development, testing, networking teams, and anyone who needs to quickly check whether their code or software is ready for the network and remote end-users.
Shunra VE Desktop Professional 5.0 seamlessly integrates into existing work environments and is integrated with industry leading tools such as HP Software's LoadRunner, Quality Test Professional, and VMware Infrastructure 3. Shunra is the only WAN emulation vendor chosen as an HP Certified solution integrated with LoadRunner and is the only WAN emulation Platinum Partner, chosen by HP Software's Marketplace Referral program.
A free trial (http://shunra.com/content.aspx?page=free_ve_desktop_standard_trial) of the standard version of this software based solution is available on the Shunra website.
