Spirent’s Lab as a Service (LaaS) solution abstracts physical, virtual and hybrid lab resources (that may be geographically dispersed) with systems and processes to provide a “Virtual Lab” for each test team. Through their LaaS interface, each test team reserves lab resources, builds templates to define required test topologies and triggers the fully automated build of any test topology. Local and remote teams have their own lab in a designated timeslot which can be rapidly reconfigured at will.

Spirent pioneered a unique approach to comprehensive testing for increasingly complex and virtualized, next-gen 5G environments with its Test as a Service (TaaS) solution. Spirent first examines current lab procedures and systems, works with the customer to augment them to ensure it is a solid platform for an automated test solution. Then, in an iterative fashion, Spirent develops and executes automated test suites, reviews results with the customer, and drives issues to resolution with CSP vendors until the technology is ready for live deployment.

This white paper provides an overview of testing requirements within the 5G domain, offering insights on proven effective next-generation testing automation solutions. This paper covers the following:

The selection of the right lab and test automation strategy, addressing three key priorities, can effectively address an organization’s essential test and assurance priorities.

SPs need unbiased industry-recognized benchmarking to validate their mobile network’s performance for latency, optimal gaming experience and to identify areas for service optimization.
