Certification Test

The Design Center, Test Center, and Solution Acceleration Field help partners to quickly complete joint operations certification tests based on the certification standards and requirements. After the test reports are approved by the Huawei Cloud certification test team, partners can release joint operations products.

HaydnCSF has integrated the developer application building certification test and test case templates for you to complete the certification test.

  1. Automatic generation of test cases for joint operations

    The performance, security, reliability, and service control certification templates for joint operations products have been released to the Solution Acceleration Field. You can create joint operations certification tests and test cases based on these templates within 10 minutes.

    • Loading requirements from templates: You can load the released joint operations certification test requirement templates on HaydnCSF.
    • Wizard-based requirement and test case generation: When creating a requirement template, you need to upload your function list, select a reliability level, and provide an integration path description as instructed by HaydnCSF. Then, the system will automatically create a joint operations certification test template and test cases for you.

    When you reference requirements by directly loading requirements from templates or generating requirements and test cases using the wizard, HaydnCSF will load the referenced requirements and test cases contained in the requirements (for example, the security test of the joint certification test contains manual security test cases and automatic test cases). After the requirements are created, you can view the test cases in the test case management module.

    Transfer rules can be configured for alarms to be automatically converted to events.

  3. Refined shift schedule of O&M personnel

    Each service supports quick shift schedule and refined shift schedule. Event tickets can be automatically allocated to O&M engineers based on the shift schedule.

  4. Multi-channel notifications of O&M events

    O&M events can be sent to on-duty engineers through multiple channels, such as emails, SMS messages, and group messages of DingTalk, WeCom, or WeLink.

    Figure 28 Multi-channel collaborative processing of O&M events
  5. Refined SLA management

    SLAs of O&M events are controllable and manageable. You can configure SLAs for each service based on event response and handling. If an SLA expires, the notification can be sent by IM groups, emails, and SMS messages.
