QA Cafe Launches CDRouter Stability and Memory Expansion to Fully Automate Soak Testing

New automated stability test solution helps broadband and Wi-Fi device developers uncover memory leaks, performance degradation, crashes, and other long-term reliability issues before deployment

PORTSMOUTH, N.H., Aug. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- QA Cafe, the leading provider of automated test and analysis solutions for broadband and Wi-Fi products, today announced the launch of the CDRouter Stability and Memory Expansion, a new automated testing solution designed to help device manufacturers and service providers predict long-term product quality before devices reach the field.

Many of the costly problems in broadband gateways and Wi-Fi routers do not appear during traditional functional or performance testing. Memory leaks, CPU exhaustion, resource fragmentation, and other cumulative issues can gradually degrade device performance, eventually resulting in poor throughput, failed functionality, crashes, or unexpected reboots after days or weeks of real-world operation.

The CDRouter Stability and Memory Expansion brings this long-term validation into the lab with ready-to-run automated stability and soak testing designed to reproduce extended real-world device behavior in a fraction of the time.

"Passing a functional or performance test tells you how a device works at that moment, but it doesn't necessarily tell you how that device will behave after days or weeks in a customer's home," said Erica Johnson, CEO at QA Cafe. "Stability and Memory Expansion gives development and QA teams a way to find those issues before deployment. The goal is to prove device quality to operators and prevent costly device problems in the field."

Combining Stability Testing with Device Health Monitoring

CDRouter Stability and Memory combines functional and performance testing into repeatable, long-running workloads that continuously exercise the device rather than simply generating sustained traffic. This approach helps expose problems caused by the cumulative interaction of networking protocols, applications, client behavior, and performance demands.

At the same time, CDRouter will be able to continuously monitor CPU and memory utilization using standardized TR-181 data through Broadband Forum management protocols (TR-069 or USP). This gives engineers visibility into device resource usage as tests run, helping them identify gradual trends such as memory leaks or increasing CPU utilization and correlate those changes with performance degradation or test failures.

The new expansion gives CDRouter users the ability to:

• Prevent costly field issues by uncovering crashes, performance degradation, memory leaks, and resource exhaustion before deployment.
• Predict quality over time by combining rigorous functional and performance workloads with continuous CPU and memory monitoring.
• Reduce development time with ready-to-run stability test cases that eliminate the need to build and maintain custom long-duration test scripts and monitoring tools.
• Accelerate root cause analysis by correlating resource utilization with pass/fail results, performance measurements, test logs, and packet captures.
• Make stability part of regression testing with repeatable automation that can run overnight, over a weekend, or as part of longer qualification cycles.

The CDRouter Stability & Memory Expansion is available now. To learn more about CDRouter Stability and Memory or request a demonstration, visit www.qacafe.com/cdrouter/.
