|
 |
| |
| The
customer |
| Leading North-American
tier-1 Telecom Equipment Provider |
| |
| The
challenge |
|
To develop a Test Automation Framework and provide
support for the various protocols/interfaces.
 |
Application
- The test automation tools development over
the framework caters to testing for PBX, Class5
switches, Gateways, Call Servers, Multimedia
systems, Trunk and Line interfaces etc. |
|
End Users
- All the Product and Feature Verification,
Design teams in the organization. |
|
| |
| The
solution |
|
Involved
in Conceptualization of certain key components
in the framework: Activity comprised of close
interaction with the client and their customers
to arrive at possible deployment scenarios
and features development. |
|
Requirement
analysis: New feature and deployment scenario
requirements were captured and analyzed to
arrive at best possible network fit |
|
Base Framework development
/ sustenance |
|
Enhancement to the product
architecture: responsible for ensuring the
product sanity, responsible for ensuring other
development activities on the platform product
functionality. This was achieved by means
of proactive suggestion of alternatives &
approaches for designers who were adding features. |
|
Feature Development &
Testing of protocol/interfaces: The fully
functional code after Unit Testing, Integration
Testing, Sanity Test, FV testing before the
product was delivered to the system integration
team at client location |
|
Maintenance of the product:
End-to-end product responsibilities also included
global product support, which involved answering
any client calls/requests involving any technical
input to resolve configuration and protocol
behavior issues |
|
Ownership of key protocols/interfaces
and components in the framework |
|
Providing the product
sanity testing for various releases and patching
for product deployment |
Key Contribution:
|
Development of SS7, ISDN interfaces, Terminal,
Wireless interfaces. |
|
Support
for Packet and Voice components in Wireless. |
|
Support for the end-to-end
Automation-Emulation environment. |
|
Support GUI automation. |
|
| |
| Business benefits to
the customer |
|
Cost benefits
due to offshore execution of project |
|
Client could depend on
Wipro for critical field issue resolution
with 24-hour turnaround time. |
|
Easy ramp up of resources
as the training could be in-house with the
help of senior team members having required
test automation knowledge. |
|
Capability of coming
up with value added ideas on the framework. |
|
Ability to provide an
end-to-end solution: From the development
of the automation framework to the product
verification through the automation of regression
test suites. |
|
Delivered different automation
solutions with tight schedules. Phased approach
was taken in some of the key deliverables
to reduce the time to deploy in the market. |
|
Technological breadth
extends from SS7, IP, Wireless, Line interfaces.
This helped for easier task management across
domains and also in resource rotation. |
