Budgets and staff are shrinking while demands on the test lab increase. New services and features supported by evolving technologies create expanded and complex test requirements. Working smarter isn’t just a good idea; it’s a matter of survival.

How will your organization:

• Expand the utilization of your lab to meet the additional hours of testing required without adding headcount?
• Run regression tests on an increasing number of features while testing ongoing development with an accelerated release schedule?
• Insure consistent testing across multiple iterations or trials to make a meaningful comparison of results possible?
• Configure highly-complex test scenarios involving a wide range of devices without introducing time-consuming errors?
• Achieve the level of realism required to validate converged solutions without the time-intensive manual intervention involved in interactive testing?
• Acquire the training necessary to automate large-scale testing?
• Manage test resources and collaborate on testing across time zones and continents?

You need to emulate dynamic network conditions and behavior in test cases that can scale to the size and complexity of a live network while gathering results that accelerate diagnostics and troubleshooting. And you need to do this without performing time-consuming manual configuration or writing long, complex scripts. If your test system can’t deliver this level of realism, automation and ease of use, you can’t meet your budget and schedule goals while ensuring that the system will perform in a real network.

Test automation is essential to meet the technical and financial goals of your organization.
