Wi-Fi Tutorial Lesson 8: Testbed testing vs test house testing

In this seminar, we explore the similarities and differences between testing in a testbed versus testing in a test house. The seminar reviews industry recommendations on the topic. It looks at the current state-of-the-art practices, comparing the two from several angles and looking at the optimal roles for each methodology.

We will cover various testing methodologies that people use in the Wi-Fi industry. When a product is prepared to be launched, typically it is taken through several different types of tests to make sure that it meets the demands of the market. Often this testing starts in a testbed like Spirent's Octobox, and then possibly taken into an open-air environment, perhaps a test house. And then finally, the testing often involves real end users, beta tests, performing tests during their everyday activities.
