Quarch Compliance Suite

Product Details

Qualifying your system to industry best practices just got easier. Run tests and record results in real-time.

For those who want to perform a range of tests without the need for specialist knowledge or custom scripting, QCS is for you. Based on a cross-platform Java/Python implementation, tests can be run at the touch of a button. Results are comprehensively displayed in real-time, allowing you to see any problems right away.

Compliance Suite allows fully automated testing with no need to develop your own test cases or automation systems. Quarch test cases cover a wide range of hot-plug, pin bounce and timing tests to ensure your system is stable in all cases and can handle likely physical layer faults that will occur in the field.

Licensing

This is a licensed product. One license is required per client PC (the system running the JAVA control application). Currently, this license is hardware locked to a single machine.

QCS Licensing – find out more here

The client PC can either run tests locally or connect to a remote server that has the drive under test.

Tests

QCS1001

Performs a wide range of hot-plug timing scenarios, verifying that the drive enumerates corrects each time

QCS1002

Extending QCS1001 and adding pin-bounce during the hot-plug cycle

QCS1003

Extending QCS1001 and performing hot-plugs with key signals delayed or connected early

QCS1004

Limited version of QCS1001 that implements the UNH-IOL hotplug test required for the NVMe promoters group. This is not licensed and can be run for free as a demo

QCS1005

Power margining test, reducing voltage in steps and verifying the drive can still enumerate

QCS1006

Power Vs Performance test, running a range of FIO workloads on the device and reporting on the power consumption of each workload (including a full QPS trace)

QCS1007

An extension to QCS1006, allowing custom FIO workloads to be run

QCS1008

A mini version of QCS1007 that is not licensed and can be run for free as a demo

QCS1009

Lane width reduction test, reducing the lane width and ensuring the drive enumerates correctly

QCS1010

Power down continuity test, using FIO to run and verify a workload has completed despite an unexpected power loss
