System Test and Validation

Follow the procedures below during the testing and validation of applications, to ensure that they will operate correctly with the HP OpenCall SS7 platform.

Load the HP OpenCall SS7 platform with the operational and logging configuration that you are going to use. At the maximum traffic load, check the following:

The CPU usage must always be less than 85%.
For a multiprocessor platform, the CPU usage of the processor running HP OpenCall SS7 must be less than 85%.
The HP OpenCall SS7 platform must respond to STLM messages in less than 40 ms. This can be measured using an SS7 tester such as an HP 37900 analyzer.
Ensure that the HP OpenCall SS7 platform mechanism is functioning correctly:
- No erroneous switchovers due to heartbeat losses should be detected,
- The FTC must have sufficient CPU to function correctly,
  See the section below on “Platform and User Application Scheduling”.
No swapping should occur on the system.
