• Regression tests on major releases and driver changes.

Client: Comcast

The Project scope included comprehensive WiFi mesh testing on new Xfinity private and business gateways, extenders, and clients, end-to-end testing of cloud features in staging and production environments, and testing of gateway features like WiFi7, and HCM. The mesh testing included band steering, device, and client stat verification and optimization tests. The end-to-end feature testing includes the verification of the data flow from the gateway/extender to the cloud and vice versa.
