Hi vineet,As RKP rightly suggested you test for common ALG support like MSN gaming ZOne,HTTPS etc.,
Do vulnerability scanning for the firewall.Search in the internet for utilities like nessus etc.,

Hi Vineet, Other things which you may would like to consider are: 1. Common attack detection and prevention. 2. ALG Support (There are some applications that don't work without ALG support such as H.323, FTP, RTSP, SQL*NET, based on your requirement DNS for twice NAT) 3. Performance. 4. Flexible user interface. 5. Type of NAT support.Analyze your security requirements and make sure that firewall satisfies your needs.
