Agenda


The Sandbox Goal:

To enable developers of all types to quickly and easily explore or create solutions, based on or

integrated with Cisco technologies -

by providing ready, useful, robust environments (Labs) for their development and testing needs.


What is Sandbox:The DevNet Sandbox is a hosted lab service, designed specifically to enable developers of all types (customers, partners, and ISVs) to:

• Explore• Experiment• Integrate• Develop• Test

their solutions with Cisco technologies.

And when a product is ready for Compatibility Testing, Sandbox offers self-driven IVT in order to obtain a Compatibility Logo.


• Try Stuff Out: Kick the tires with new products and Cisco technology

• Integrate your product with Cisco technologies without investment in equipment, space, or technical talent normally required to build, configure and maintain a Lab

• Test to larger scales using our tools

• Get Early Access to new releases of Cisco product versions

• Collaborate across locations by sharing lab sessions across users

• Complete IVT: Use your engineering resources to execute our self-driven IVT on your time and at reduced cost

Sandbox IVT – Putting You in the Driver’s Seat!


Sandbox IVT• Reduce out of pocket costs to partners

• Test Automation supports repeatability and efficiency

• Increased testing efficiency due to partner product knowledge

• Faster time to market with Cisco Compatibility Certification by eliminating 3rd party lab business transaction process and queue of other work

• Provided as a choice. Program members will still have access to authorized 3rd party labs if services are preferred.


Sandbox IVT – How it Works • Self Driven IVT

• Partner engineer executes the test in the DevNet Sandbox

• Sandbox IVT lab is based on identical criteria as our authorized 3rd party labs

• Labs are paid for and reserved for specific periods of time – test is executed in a contiguous fashion over 3 to 7 days

• Labs have workflows automating as much as possible for efficiency and simplicity

• Data is collected throughout the test and validated when test is complete and submitted to Cisco


Sandbox IVT – Technologies Available Today

• Collaboration: Call Accounting and Billing

• Collaboration: Voice Recording

• Collaboration: Endpoints, Headsets and Cameras

• Collaboration: Operator/Attendant Consoles

IVT Testimonials


- Kathy Learnan, Director of Product Development ISI Telemanagement Solutions, Inc

“One of the big advantages of conducting the self-test was the flexibility to set our own schedule. Lab staff members were readily available, and had the knowledge needed to quickly respond to our questions and concerns.”


- Steve Ginter, Resource Software International Ltd.

“..the Sandbox’s ease of use and powerful features allowed me to test my product against many different call scenarios. In addition, the automated test cases enabled me to complete the testing in a minimal amount of time and effort.”


- Michal Grebac, Strategic Sales & Marketing Director , 2Ring

“Our goal was to streamline the certification process by not having to ship any hardware to a test lab in a different country, by eliminating travel, and by working on our own schedule without being dependent on a 3rd party testing resource.”


“…as compared to the last IVT testing I did in-person, this is already laid out easier than ever before...”

- Forrest Ryan, CCNA iQ NetSolutions

“…an excellent experience where I was able to certify without having to leave my very own testing bench...”

- Phillip Walenta, Polycom
