Viewing jobs

Jobs in EXFO Exchange can be used to plan work ahead of time and track its progress, either for your own team or one of your contractors or build partners. Jobs can also be used to better identify the tests being executed on your network.

Job

A job defines a list of tests to be executed by one or more assignees. It can also include additional properties, such as the company or customer, the location, and the due date at which the work is expected to be completed.

Test point

A test point usually represents a network asset to be tested, as part of your network topology. It could be as simple as a Cable ID and Fiber ID, or as complex as the TIA-606 cable labeling standard.

Test type

A test type identifies the type of test you wish to do on a specific test point, such as: Fiber inspection (FIP), Fiber characterization (OTDR, iOLM, OLTS, OLX) or Optical power or loss (OPM)
