Mark5C Test Plan
Chester Ruszczyk
Agenda
• Goals
• Setup
• Tools
– Mark5C Packet Generator / Receiver App.
• Open Issues
Goal
• A method / plan on how we will test
Conduant’s new Mark5C hardware
– 10G Ethernet daughter board
– Amazon controller card
• Verify that functionally it meets the
Mark5C Specification document
Setup
Software Tools
• Mark5C Packet Generator / Receiver
– Emulates second generation DBE (Generator or
server)
– Emulates Mark5 hardware (Receiver or client)
– Includes a packet analyzer
• Mark5C / Mark5B Conformance
• Detection of errors
• Working version
– With Mark5C packet format
– Packet reordering / missing packets features

Comments
Open Issues
• Two features brought up as additional tests
– Bank / non-bank mode
– Failure of disks feature
• Bank / non-bank mode
– Tests will verify both data rates up to 4Gbps
• Failure of disks
– Feature is the last feature to be added
– Time constraint will dictate if it gets in the initial testing
• Mark5C software test/accept plan
• Copy of Mark5 Packet Emulator to Conduant (5/30)
• Final version of test plan out as memo.
