Mobile APN Connection Performance Testing Checklist 

This checklist is designed to validate the system performance of mobile APN connections post-installation. It includes tests for internet speed, Care Pro server response time, and end-user system access under both normal and peak load conditions. 

Checklist Items 

Internet Speed Validation: 

• Use a network speed test tool to measure the performance of the mobile APN connection. 

• Verify download speeds meet the following benchmarks: 

Facility Type	Minimum Bandwidth Requirement
Health Posts	10 Mbps
Medium Facilities	50 Mbps
High-Volume Facilities	100 Mbps

 

• Verify upload speeds meet the following benchmarks: 

Facility Type	Minimum Bandwidth Requirement
Health Posts	2 Mbps
Medium Facilities	10 Mbps
High-Volume Facilities	20 Mbps

 

• Confirm latency is below 50 ms under optimal conditions. 

Care Pro Server Response Time Validation: 

• Test server response time to CarePro.moh.gov.zm using ping or equivalent tools. 

• Ensure response time does not exceed 100 ms. 

• Record any deviations during normal and peak load conditions. 

End-User System Access Testing: 

• Simulate real-world scenarios by testing access for multiple devices. 

• Validate seamless access to Care Pro EHR for all end-users. 

• Ensure no dead spots in Wi-Fi coverage within operational areas. 

Network Failover Testing: 

• Confirm automatic failover activates seamlessly when the primary network is unavailable. 

• Ensure no loss of service during failover transitions. 

 

Peak Load Testing: 

• Simulate peak traffic conditions to stress-test the system. 

• Verify network stability, speed, and latency under peak loads. 

Monitoring and Documentation: 

• Enable SNMP and ICMP on routing devices for remote monitoring. 

• Verify network devices are visible on the Zabbix monitoring platform. 

• Document all test results, including screenshots or logs from testing tools. 

• Prepare a summary report detailing any issues and recommendations.
