THE CHALLENGE

Service providers, enterprises and NEMs contend with formidable time-to-market lead-time challenges throughout the development of a network product or service. The exhaustive testing required to ensure performance, availability, security and scalability (the PASS Methodology) is a major source of these delays, but required to assure quality and reliability. In virtual and cloud environments, these concerns are critical.

Budgets and release deadlines continue to tighten. Products and services continue to expand in complexity. As a result, a majority of organizations struggle with the exacting physical, operational and testing requirements at each stage of the development life cycle. These requirements present obstacles that can impede productive and timely testing. Industry experts observe, and lab managers coping with cutting edge testing recognize, that Infrastructure Test Optimization (ITO) is the evolving field where maximized testing solutions are being defined. The challenge is choosing the right solutions that perform on all levels, shorten time to market while reducing CAPEX and OPEX, and leverage existing investments.

Benefits of ITOTHE SOLUTION

Using Spirent world class test tools and platforms, Spirent’s worldwide engineering and Professional Services teams, along with the best-of-breed technology partners, have developed and delivered a range of infrastructure test optimization and automation solutions. These ITO solutions solve or minimize the impact of complex testing challenges today and into the future. Originally offered under Spirent’s NoCode banner, these solutions address the broad range of problem areas faced by those struggling with the cost and complexity of testing. They continue to deliver the greatest opportunity for increased efficiency, improved quality, and testing scale, resulting in lower CAPEX/OPEX.

    Benefits

    Benefits of Professional Services Solutions for ITO

    Solution Values and the ITO Pillars

    Collaboration in the Environment

    • Integrate: Streamlines testing by integrating automated processes within existing testing infrastructures
    • Configure: Improves collaboration across teams and between divisions with a standardized communication platform for device configuration
    • Control: Automates 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

    Orchestration of Test Case Solutions

    • Author: Optimizes engineering productivity, speeds time to market as complexity of scripting test cases continues to climb
    • Emulate: Large scale testing, with emulation, lowers costs
    • Analyze: Execution of powerful test-analysis logic eliminates overly time-intensive manual development for 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!

    Utilization and 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

    Execution of Test Cycles

    • Schedule: Manages robust suites of test cases, eliminating the constraints of 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 dashboards, progress status, and report histories with each successive test iteration

    Maximize productivity with Spirent’s Professional Services:

    • Optimize your lab architecture, test setup procedures and strategies
    • Lights out testing 24x7 from anywhere
    • Maximize your capital investment and accelerate your time to market
