Hi all,

Greetings from QA Cafe! Pictured above is our 2026 team, including our newest member, Brett Dupont. Brett joined our software development team this year and is building new networking test and packet analysis capabilities for CDRouter, CloudShark, and Packet Viewer. When he's not working, you'll find him pursuing what he calls his "niche hobby" of birdwatching. Welcome, Brett!

Fall is a big deal here in New Hampshire, and it is quite the busy tourist season for us. It gives us plenty of inspiration to keep bringing you great solutions! Here are some of the highlights from the past few months.

Fully Automated Soak Testing with the Stability and Memory Expansion

Our biggest news for CDRouter is the Stability & Memory Expansion​​​​​​! This extends CDRouter with ready-to-run, long-duration stability tests that combine realistic functional and performance workloads, while continuously monitoring CPU and memory utilization via standardized TR-181 data, collected via TR-069 or USP. By combining everything CDRouter can do into a set of easily launched long-term soak tests, you significantly reduce development time and uncover costly field issues in a day that might take months to appear in the real world.

Adding AI packet analysis to your product with Packet Viewer

The holy grail for network and cybersecurity solutions has always been AI-powered packet capture analysis. We have taken the first step toward enabling you to drop it into your product using Packet Viewer.

Packet Viewer introduced SmartFilter, an AI-powered component that lets users describe the traffic they're looking for in plain English and instantly generates a validated Wireshark display filter.

The best part? SmartFilter connects to the LLM endpoint your organization already trusts through a simple server-side webhook. Your credentials stay on your infrastructure, your users never interact directly with the AI provider, and you remain free to change models whenever your AI strategy evolves.

Expert Opinions, Expert Proof
