Integration Test

Unit Testing for Sensors and Data Acquisition Device

  • Test each sensor individually to ensure it is providing accurate and reliable data (analog parameters & alarms).

  • Check for any anomalies or errors in data collection.

  • Simulate a 'Sensor Disconnected' scenario and check for the proper indication from the system.

Local Communication Testing

  • Ensure that the data is transmitted accurately and in the expected format.

  • Verify that the data collection device can handle both digital and analog data.

Cloud Connection Testing

  •  Ensure Data transmission interval are accurate by reviewing the logged transmission time (via Galooli Pro)

  • Ensure  that the full data payload is identical to the data collected by the control ( compare controller reading with Galooli Panorama - Live).

  • Ensure that the device responsible for sending data to the cloud can establish a secure and reliable connection.(Galooli Panorama - Live)

  • Test data transmission to the cloud to confirm that the server is receiving the correct data (Check ECS logs via Kibana solution).

Error Handling Testing

  • Simulate scenarios where the network connection is poor or temporarily unavailable.

  • Test how the system handles and recovers from communication failures or interruptions.

Scalability Testing

  • Test the system's ability to handle the maximum scenario (MAX number of sensors in a given location) .

  • Ensure that the data transmission process remains efficient and reliable as the system scales.

Data Loss

Galooli is committed to providing its customers with the highest standards of service and security. The Galooli Solutions includes cutting edge features and practices designed to maximize asset connectivity and minimize data loss. Following are several policies and conditions associated with the process:

Data Loss During Service Interruptions:

Data loss recognized in this context is specifically due to complete service outages. This encompasses periods when the Software as a Service (SaaS) application is entirely unavailable or its functionality is significantly disrupted.

Cellular Network Downtime:

While Galooli employs strategies to minimize data loss, it is important to acknowledge that Galooli is not responsible for data loss attributable to cellular network instabilities or unforeseen disruptions. The local data storage capability of the Galooli gateway acts as a safeguard against such eventualities, ensuring data preservation during network downtimes.

Mutually Agreed Upon SaaS Maintenance Periods:

Scheduled maintenance periods are essential for the ongoing efficiency and security of the SaaS application. Galooli will proactively communicate with clients regarding these scheduled downtimes to manage expectations concerning temporary service unavailability and the potential for data loss. Importantly, data loss during these agreed-upon maintenance windows is not factored into the overall data loss assessments, acknowledging the planned nature of these interruptions."

Exclusions for Physical Sites Under Maintenance or Known Issues:

Data loss incidents that occur during scheduled maintenance periods or as a result of previously identified issues with the physical infrastructure are excluded from the provider's liability.

Force Majeure Events:

The service may be subject to interruptions from force majeure events, which are unforeseeable and beyond our control. These include, but are not limited to, natural disasters, political unrest, and other significant emergencies. Data loss resulting from such events falls outside the provider's responsibility, given their unpredictable and extraordinary nature.

License Plans

The Galooli software solution includes a number of applications, features, tools, and menus. Each of these capabilities is available to customers depending on the organization's license type that defines which system capabilities will be available to them and which will not.
