Test case configuration overview

The test case configuration workflow includes the following standard elements:

• Test type—The test template to use. It determines the mandatory and optional settings for specific cases.
• Case options—IP version, DUT role, DUT mode, network configuration, optional port binding, VLAN and Client Virtual Router.
• Interface ports—Client and server interface port configuration.
• Optional elements—Enable or disable packet capture and MAC masquerade.
• Test case specifics—Variables that determine the test parameters, such as load, rates/limits, and client/server profiles and actions.

The first four items set up the basic test environment. Once you become familiar with them, you can assume they can be configured in the same manner for each test. The Client Virtual Router will simulate a router between FortiTester's client and the connected DUT.

The test case specifics are key to testing the performance of the device under test (DUT). We recommend you become familiar with guidelines for test case specifics whenever you get started with a new test case type.
