QA Cafe develops industry leading IP test solutions for CPE devices. The QA Cafe product family includes our flagship product CDRouter, a comprehensive library of add-on modules for CDRouter, and the NTA1000 network test appliance. CDRouter is the industry's leading functional verification test tool for CPE devices.
Our CPE testing a la carte
CDRouter includes a powerful protocol engine and test harness capable of simulating a variety of test environments and scenarios. The base CDRouter application also includes a core set of test modules designed to verify a wide range of functionality found in typical CPE implementations.
CDRouter's test coverage can be expanded through a number of feature-packed add-ons that provide support for additional protocols and functionality. All of CDRouter's test cases can be performed on a single test platform without any additional hardware or network components.
With CDRouter you can choose only the add-ons that you are interested in and install new add-ons to your system at any time.
