Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a testing fixture and belongs to the technical field of gateway device testing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Industrial Internet, gateway devices, as key equipment connecting different networks and integrating heterogeneous data, are finding increasingly wider applications. Gateways need to interface with various sensor networks, traditional Ethernet, and wireless networks, handling massive data conversion, protocol adaptation, and routing tasks. To ensure gateway product quality, testing equipment has emerged. Early gateways had few interfaces and simple functions, and testing relied heavily on manual use of basic network testing tools, along with general electronic instruments such as multimeters and oscilloscopes, to check port connectivity and basic electrical characteristics one by one. However, for today's gateway devices with many functions and interfaces, manual testing is inappropriate and inefficient. For example, when testing multi-port communication of a gateway, testers have to plug and unplug network cables one by one, manually switch test instrument parameters, and repeatedly input commands to simulate different network traffic. This process is lengthy, error-prone, and inefficient, resulting in high labor costs and difficulty in achieving batch testing. For gateways in large-scale production, the lack of a fully automated testing solution makes it difficult to quickly and continuously conduct functional and performance tests on a batch of gateways according to established standards, slowing down the production delivery cycle. Rough performance measurement: For key performance indicators of gateways, such as accurate latency measurement during high-concurrency data processing and monitoring of minimal packet loss rate, existing testing methods lack precision and often can only provide a general range, failing to provide detailed data support for product optimization and resulting in incomplete functional coverage.
