How we test and score the products

摘要

Our testing team includes SC Labs staff, as well as external experts who are respected industry-wide. In our Group Tests, we look at several products around a common theme based on a predetermined set of SC Labs standards (Performance, Ease of use, Features, Documentation, Support, and Value for money). There are roughly 50 individual criteria in the general test process. These criteria were developed by the lab in cooperation with the Center for Regional and National Security at Eastern Michigan University. We developed the second set of standards specifically for the group under test and use the Common Criteria (ISO 1548) as a basis for the test plan. Group Test reviews focus on operational characteristics and are considered at evaluation assurance level (EAL) 1 (functionally tested) or, in some cases, EAL 2 (structurally tested) in Common Criteria-speak.
