QA-In-a-Box is an automated environment for software regression tests. QA-In-a-Box accompanies the development process by automatically building and testing OpenRG, providing real-time feedback on compilation and performance issues. QA-In-a-Box is comprised of two modules:

• J-Lab: A simulation framework that emulates a professional QA laboratory for CPE networking devices on a single Linux host.
• Autotest: An automatic software regression test suite for OpenRG.
   

J-Lab provides the networking environment for Autotest’s software regression test applications.

QA-In-a-Box assists developers by shortening QA cycles, and provides a comprehensive methodology for rapidly verifying and improving code quality. QA-In-a-Box enables running automatic software regression tests on OpenRG and OpenSMB without requiring expensive laboratory equipment. Autotest’s software regression test library includes over 100 ready-to-use test applications, and its API enables developers to easily create additional regression test libraries.
