Cloud with Test Bench
- Maeva Rondeau
Overview
In comparison with the Cloud mode, a Power Test Bench is installed on your premises so that you can manage the smartphones yourself. This mode may suits your company better depending on its security policy regarding the tested applications.
The Core Server is still in the Cloud. The Test Bench is accessed by your users as an in-house service. The Power Test Bench Server also includes a gateway that transparently routes the flows between the Core Server and the Power Test Bench.
On the diagram above, Application Servers are the usual backend servers of your applications, and Application repository is the repository where you put the built applications (Nexus for example…).

Maintenance and updates
Monitoring
The Core Server is monitored by GREENSPECTOR while you are responsible for monitoring the Power Test Bench Server (monitoring service status, checking log files for errors, etc.).
Database backup and restore
We are in charge of making backup of the Core Server’s data, and restoring it if necessary. You are responsible of backing up the Power Test Bench Server.
Updates
When a software update is available, our maintenance team will inform your Admin team. They will decide if and when they want to download the updated components and to install them.
