The Customer -
Our customer is a pioneering leader in developing highly scalable, high performance and agile storage networks and storage solutions that eliminate scalability bottlenecks in capacity and performance.

The Challenge -
To improve efficiency, effectiveness productivity and team augmentation with consistent quality and more Streamlined QA cycle were major concerns for our customer.

The Solutions -
Calsoft has offered various solutions to Automate QA process: We have built a test harness and automated File System Application tests through Testzilla. In brief, the Testzilla Client's Project has automated the client re-port build, test and vaulting operations. Calsoft has also Automated Double Disk Failure test to verify cleanup of “zombie” objects. It happens when the storage blades crashes, the data residing on them fail to recover. Calsoft created and built a new test suite for large file tests and also enhanced and automated “DirectFlow” Global Mount Testing for “remote realm access”. This is a feature of panfs via which customer can access a different realm from the one that have globally mounted. A list of test cases has been incorporated in a new test suite.

As far as process and methodologies are concerned we align/fine-tune our development methodologies with those of our customers. We have devised a hybrid approach to Product development. At concept, requirements gathering and sometimes high level architecture stage, we follow traditional waterfall method while once a project enters execution stage, we switch to “Agile-Scrum” methodology for prototyping, developing, testing and release.
