Abstract
Increasing demand for high quality and reliable operation of the telecommunication network services and its applications have been the main challenges of the telecommunication network providers in the last decade. In this paper, a remote online testing facility (Intact – Intelligent Test Automation and Configuration Tool) is introduced that proposes a solution for telecommunication network providers to meet demands and to ensure business services as well as network related services (circuit switched and packet switched) operate efficiently.
 This paper presents a particular solution of remote testing based on the automated functional “End to End” testing approach. “End to End” starts by configuring service properties, subscriber record and service logic on one hand. On the other hand several hundred call scenarios can be executed fully automatically. Moreover the call detail records written by the network elements are verified automatically too. Hence a test description and web automation language was developed which is very easy to learn. This testing approach improves test speed and quality leading to reduced risk and investment on test procedure. As a result, the proposed solution of a remote automated online test system aims to overcome higher cost, longer time to market periods and increased effort in testing.
Highlights
The telecommunication network operators face challenges of providing the customers with reliable, faster and more cost-effective services that depend on developing and maintaining a consistent set of quality system requirements and measurement techniques [1, 2]
Integration and implementation of test systems comprise of a combination of various computing systems, telecommunication equipment and test engineers [3]
The scope of this paper is to present a novel testing facility “Intact – Intelligent Test Automation and Configuration Tool” that proposes a remote online solution for the telecommunication network providers
Summary
The telecommunication network operators face challenges of providing the customers with reliable, faster and more cost-effective services that depend on developing and maintaining a consistent set of quality system requirements and measurement techniques [1, 2]. Development of the test systems has been a strategic approach in the sector in order to overcome the challenges and meet the requirements. Existing test systems available for large scale telecommunication networks demonstrate disadvantages of being inefficient and high cost in operation. The scope of this paper is to present a novel testing facility “Intact – Intelligent Test Automation and Configuration Tool” that proposes a remote online solution for the telecommunication network providers. The tool works based on a particular solution of “End to End” test approach that starts by configuring service properties, subscriber record and service logic fulfilling automated test calls and verification of the call detail records
