With widespread mandates to automate testing now, most telecommunications NEMs and Service Providers are looking for the best solutions to implement effectively with the best ROI possible. For years, Spirent has helped customers with their evolving needs in network testing, and Spirent now continues to provide seasoned leadership and dynamic solutions for Lab and Test Automation.

The traditional approach to test lab automation consisted of piecemeal, challenge-specific, and non-scalable home-grown solutions. Spirent NoCode represents the next generation of test lab automation solutions specifically designed to holistically address the diverse challenges of a complex test environment.

NoCode Gear ImageIn concert with Spirent’s worldwide Engineering and Global Services teams, along with companies that are the leading innovators in their market segments, Spirent has identified four domains with the greatest opportunity for decreased CAPEX/OPEX and increased efficiencies for the human and physical resources used in testing. Together, we have developed a suite of lab and test automation solutions targeted at solving or minimizing the impact of these challenges today, and into the future. Offered under Spirent’s NoCode banner, these solutions correspond precisely with the problem domains faced by those struggling with the cost and complexity of testing.

They are:

  • NoCode Physical Infrastructure
  • NoCode Environment
  • NoCode Test Case
  • NoCode Test Cycle 

Spirent Lab and Test Automation Partnerships

 A number of Spirent’s automation domain solutions were developed and integrated with companies whose products are recognized throughout the industry as being the best-of-breed for their leading applications in automation related solutions. Spirent has partnerships with the following market innovators:

  • Fanfare – The Leader in System and Device Testing
  • MRV – Physical layer connectivity, automation, power management and remote presence solutions
  • Gale Technologies – The leader in Automated Network Testing Tools and Lab and Test Management Solutions

Benefits

Spirent NoCode Benefits

NoCode Physical Infrastructure

  • Power: Manages cost of utilizing equipment only when needed, no longer the 24/7 on use model
  • Connect: Eliminates repetitive manual cabling, which is time-consuming, error-prone and physically depreciates devices and connectors
  • Share: Enables strategies for managing global test equipment inventories, resulting in high utilization and flexible growing networks
  • Productivity Gain: 12 configs vs. 3 configs, with 50% test overlap = 150% coverage gain. 8 weeks vs. 6 weeks = 25% reduction in test schedule

NoCode Environment

  • Integrate: Streamline testing by integrating automated processes within existing testing infrastructures
  • Configure: Improve collaboration across teams and between divisions with a standardized communication platform for configuration of devices
  • Control: Automate testing by easily implementing and automating configuration and pass/fail criteria within tests
  • Productivity Gain: Before iTest – 333 tests/person; After iTest 4000 tests/person – 12x increase

NoCode Test Case

  • Author: Optimizes engineering productivity, speeds time to market as complexity of scripting test cases continues to climb
  • Emulate: Large scale testing, without emulation, can never be cost effective
  • Analyze: Manually executing powerful test analysis logic is an overly time-intensive task for development engineers
  • Productivity Gain: 8 test cycles per year x 10 iterations per cycle = 80 man days. 80 days/200 days per year = 40% productivity gain. Nearly ½ person year recovered from a single test suite!

NoCode Test Cycle

  • Schedule: Manages robust suites of test cases, eliminating the constraints the traditional 5-day work week, enabling 24/7 testing
  • Execute: Delivers the broad, time-intensive test coverage needed in today’s “Everything over Everything” network environments
  • Report: Manages a broad array of report histories with each successive iteration of testing
