Abstract
OSS/BSS-systems used by telecommunication companies to conduct their business are a combination of several subsystems that closely interact with each other. Since the activities of telecommunications companies are related to the processing of personal data of individuals and legal entities, such systems should be subjected to testing, which should continue until the end of the life cycle. The huge size of telecommunications companies' databases, as well as the number of tests required to cover the entire functionality of OSS/BSS-systems are an obstacle to conducting rapid testing. This article describes an approach to testing organization that solves this problem, based on the selection and keeping the test data up to date. The effectiveness of the proposed approach has been demonstrated experimentally.
Highlights
OSS/BSS systems are the fundamental set of software aimed to support internal business processes of telecommunication companies
OSS/BSS systems that being used by every telecom operator are designed to perform the same tasks and are based on generally accepted principles and standards
The implementation of OSS/BSS systems may vary depending on the type of services and scale of the business itself
Summary
OSS/BSS systems are the fundamental set of software aimed to support internal business processes of telecommunication companies. They are responsible for the interaction between all information systems providing communication services, managing internal processes, committing billing operations and controlling company resources [1]. The main idea of manual testing is that the tester is directly involved in the testing process, without using any additional software This simulates the interaction of the end user with the current version of the product. Testers have to form relatively complex queries in the database, providing data filtering at the very start of testing process This is necessary in order to reduce the complexity and remove redundant logic from the functions and methods that work with the results of these queries. It is necessary to establish a specific mechanism for delegating test data between auto tests
