Is it just the hardware that needs to be acceptance tested or is it some kind of service depending on this hardware? I don't specifically recall the term "ATP" but I guess Operational Acceptance Testing is the same. We only supply services, and the acceptance tests are defined by the receiving end, typically with some help from a Service Manager and a network engineer. The tests only check functionality not endurance of the system. Typically the tests check everything defined in the SLA. When receiving hardware we use for ourselves we have no formal acceptance tests; for core equipment it runs in a lab for some time and the takes on a role as a standby unit in the production net. Sometimes when time limits dictate it we end up just placing some new component in an important role without testing. I hope the manufacturer does some kind of burn in test. :-) HTH, Peter _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
