EdenTree Lab Manager Loads Up on New Features for Remote Network Test Lab Management

New software release delivers rich API and GUI enhancements for test cycle automation

EdenTree Technologies®, innovator of lab management and test automation solutions for network equipment manufacturers, service providers, and enterprises, today announced the immediate availability of Lab Manager 5.2, the new release of the company’s award-winning network lab automation software.

Lab Manager is an open Lab Operating System™ that works with any kind of network equipment, managing physical layer infrastructure to which test equipment and devices under test (DUT) are connected. The result is a software-controlled lab environment that allows engineers to easily and remotely manage and use lab resources.

The Lab Manager 5.2 release includes new features designed for multi-site, global labs, as well as a more powerful application programming interface (API) that supports the increasing number of test facilities incorporating the Lab Manager system into fully-automated test environments.

Lab Manager 5.2 addresses the needs of EdenTree’s growing base of customers with multiple locations and ever-increasing numbers of off-shore testing facilities. Test scripts associated with specific devices may be launched remotely from Lab Manager’s easy-to-use GUI, making it easier for users in off-site locations to control devices that are in a central lab and run test scripts that have been linked to those devices.

Other new features, such as support for long-haul links on certain physical layer switches, enable test equipment in different locations to be connected – between labs in a building, across a campus, or across the world – facilitating ever-higher leveraging of equipment investments. And localization settings allow users anywhere to view reports based on activity in their chosen time zone.

With more and more network test labs automating their test processes, EdenTree’s robust API command set gives test organizations the flexibility and control needed to incorporate device and test bed management and reservations into their script-managed test processes. New API commands in Lab Manager 5.2 allow test topologies to be created and modified on the fly, while the system’s enhanced substitution engine lets testers off-load device allocation decisions to the automated system.

Designed to work in any lab environment with any network devices, EdenTree Lab Manager is tightly integrated with a growing number of third party physical layer switches, providing broad coverage of connectivity for any interface types. Lab Manager 5.2 supports additional switches and interfaces, an extensive list of new switch features that are controllable from the Lab Manager client and API, and auto-discovery of switches.
