Business Drivers

Industry Needs

Need to perform a large number of tests repeatedly but cost-effectively

Automation solution that is:

o Rapidly-deployable

o Adaptable to fast changing environment

o Low maintenance cost

o Extendable to add new test technology

o Flexible to accommodate various vendor test equipment

Industry Concerns

Delay, costs and disappointment with automation efforts

Steep ramp-up curves

Too many “surprises”o No certainty test equipment can

support customer-specific call features

o Significant effort to add test caseso Need to develop automation

scripts per test case and per test equipment using vendor-specific language

Lack of Expertiseo Limited “true” automation experts

Existing Solutions - Limitations

Test equipment

Significant investment in test gear Not always able to show value

(rapidly execute various test cases)

Development is test equipment specific

Adding new test scripts requires a skilled network programmer

Still need test planning, test automation/scripting, environment configuration

Difficult to communicate results

Test management system

Still need lots of manual effort (including data archiving).

Still need test planning, test automation/scripting, environment configuration

Still need automation system to accommodate different test equipment

May not readily provide flow-through processes (integration with test equipment) with other internal processes
