Driving innovation by tackling growing infrastructure complexity
Organizations with fully virtualized and automated software testing solutions (supported by products like SDL) benefit from much lower test costs and faster time-to-market – higher profit margins, sooner. An accelerated product pipeline enables early market share for new services.
Network operators can process more products and services via the same labs and staff, leading to new product opportunities and greater customer choice.
True CI/CD with automated software testing services brings rapid deployment and upgrades, higher network integrity and improved security. The customer experience is also improved thanks to being able to retest in deployment networks and to test unique, customer-specific solutions, end-to-end or component-by-component, with very little additional effort.
What a difference SDL makes. Take a look at the following case studies.
1: EPC Testing
Challenge: A service provider and its network supplier need automated software testing of the components of an EPC from multiple vendors. Solution: Customer needs to evaluate multiple vendors and configurations of the components within an EPC.
2: NFV DPI Component Engineering Assessment
Challenge: Provide dimensioning/engineering and optimization information for a new VNF, for a wide range of customer deployment uses. Solution: Client created a new VNF based on software from their existing physical appliance product. They found that in deployment, their customers needed to understand capacity maximums and different traffic types for a given configuration. Or, they needed the vendor to recommend an appropriate configuration for a given expected traffic rate.
