TEST OVERVIEW

In todays market, the move for pretty much every product is towards wireless. Wireless area networks (WANs based Wi-Fi) for connecting your computers to the Internet at your local coffee shop. Wireless low-powered networks (like ZigBee) to connect air conditioning units in hotel rooms to a main control server. Personnel area networks (like Bluetooth) to allow you to connect your cell phone to your computer. And, now Wireless USB to un-tether your peripherals (e.g., keyboards, mice, hard drives, etc.) from your computer. In the real world, it's not enough for a wireless USB device or hub manufacturer to simply prove that it has correctly followed the USB-IF specification. You can never be sure what revision level of machines or subtle differences a device will have to contend with in the field. The bottom line is that you don't want to spend all of your time debugging other manufacturers' designs. But you do need to know what's out there in order to defend your own design against potential failures in the hands of real-world users, especially with an emerging technology like Wireless USB. NTS knows from our experience that compliance does not always guarantee compatibility with other products, and you want to make youre your product is compatible with all of the USB-compliant products on the market today. To address these issues, NTS has developed the NTS Wireless USB Golden Suite that goes beyond the standard USB-IF certification. It answers the questions regarding whose fault is it, how bad is it out there, will my product perform as expected, and will it be a success or a failure. The NTS Wireless USB Golden Suite focuses on real-world testing of your USB product with a variety of platforms, peripherals and operating systems. The testing covers various USB chipsets using up to 200 USB devices and peripherals (wired and wireless), along with supporting operating systems including Apple Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows 2000 , Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Windows Server 2003, and Microsoft Windows Vista. NTSs Wireless USB Golden Suite test procedures consist of six (6) major coverage areas: Installation Testing; Device Functionality Testing; Interoperability Testing; Hot Detach/Reattach Functionality Testing; Power Management Functionality Testing; and, Wireless Functionality Testing. Let NTS help make sure your product is ready for the market before you release it!

TEST PROCEDURES

Before NTS begins testing, test platforms are verified and checked for correct configuration with the assigned operating systems. Once the platforms are configured, NTS Test Engineers confirm that no errors or anomalies are listed in the Device Manager and the operating system is functioning as expected. NTSs Wireless USB Golden Suite test procedures consist of five (5) major coverage areas, as outlined in the subsections below (Note that coverage area #6 as listed below is optional). Each test area subsection includes a description of the applicable coverage as well as a high-level outline of test procedure to coincide with the device under test.

Interoperability Testing Interoperability testing confirms proper co-existence with multiple USB devices and/or hubs (wireless and wired). Interoperability testing performed by NTS using the USB Wireless, High Speed, Full Speed and Low Speed devices and hubs. Listed below are the major milestones that are exercised to ensure proper interoperability. Confirm functionality of USB Device under test with an array of USB 2.0 compliant devices (i.e., wired and wireless hubs, mice, printers, scanners, camera, etc.) Move wireless USB transceiver under test along USB Tree and confirm functionality of wireless USB device under test with an array of USB 2.0 (Wired & Wireless HS, FS, LS) compliant devices (i.e., hubs, mice, printers, scanners, camera, etc.) 4. Hot Detach/Reattach Functionality Testing Hot Detach/Reattach Functionality testing verifies correct detection and functionality as the device under test is inserted and re-inserted from the same USB port and moved from port to port on the USB Tree. Listed below are major milestones that are typically exercised to ensure proper Hot Detach/Reattach Functionality. Hot Detach/Reattach (Scenario 1) Change the attachment of the USB transceiver from the systems USB Port 1 and re-attached it to the systems USB Port 2 (if applicable). Verify that the wireless USB device repairs with the transceiver. Hot Detach/Reattach (Scenario 2) Unplug and plug the attachment of the USB transceiver from the systems same USB port. Verify that the wireless USB device re-pairs with the transceiver. Hot Detach/Reattach (Scenario 3) Pair/unpair (turn on/off) the wireless USB device multiple times and validate that it reattaches and re-enumerates correctly. Hot Detach/Reattach (Scenario 4) Move USB Device (transceiver) under test along USB tree (up and down) and confirm functionality of USB device under test with an array of USB 2.0 (HS, FS, LS) compliant devices (e.g., wireless hubs, mice, printers, scanners, camera, etc.). Verify that the wireless USB device repairs with the transceiver. Exception Processing Technique Hot Detach/Reattach the USB transceiver to and from the USB ports as quickly as possible. NTS Test Engineers wait until the device is enumerated, then quickly hot detach and reattach the device. 5. Power Management Functionality Testing Power Management functionality testing assures that the USB Device under test continues to operate normally after resuming from a selected power management state. Listed below are the major milestones that are exercised to ensure proper Power Management Functionality. With USB Device under test attached, place test platform in Standby mode. Upon test platform dropping to standby mode, resume from the power management state. March 13, 2007 -3CONFIDENTIAL

With the USB Device under test attached, place test platform in hibernation mode. Upon test platform dropping to hibernation mode, resume from the power management state. Exception Processing Technique - With USB Device under test attached on the USB Tree, place test platform in Standby mode. Upon test platform dropping to Standby mode, move the USB Device to a different USB port along the USB Tree. Resume from the power management state. Exception Processing Technique - With USB Device under test attached on the USB Tree, place test platform in hibernation mode. Upon test platform dropping to hibernation mode, move the USB Device under test to a different USB port. Resume from the power management state.

ADDITIONAL TEST SERVICES

Regression Testing For maximum flexibility and cost benefits to our customers, NTS does not incorporated regression testing into the test suite by default. However, if you are interested in additional regression testing after the completion of your project, NTS will be happy to work with your to address your specific needs. When the client is ready for regression testing, heres what we do: Client contacts NTS Account Manager indicating that they are ready for regression testing. NTS estimates how long it will take to perform regression testing. This is normally estimated in 8 hour blocks. An addendum is generated and sent to the client. The client signs off on addendum. Regression testing begins. The goal is NTSs goal to be flexible, just like an extension to your internal testing capabilities, and to keep testing as cost effective as possible and yet give our clients exactly what they need.

USB Certification Testing During testing, issues that are encountered may be due to a suspect USB physical layer of the product-under-test. Because of NTSs ability to perform USB 2.0 compliance testing and having all of the necessary equipment, NTS can perform validation of the product to the USB certification standards. Testing typically includes electrical test (e.g., signal quality, inrush current, etc.) as well as interoperability testing.

CONCLUSION
