Testing as a Service for access network solutions (xPON/DOCSIS)

Testing as
a Service

Secure your network by removing failures at the testing stage, to delight your subscribers with flawless services

With the increasing complexity of networking technologies and the ever-growing demand for seamless connectivity, it is crucial to ensure that your network is operating at an optimal performance level.

At VECTOR TECHNOLOGIES we can design test cycles specifically tailored to your needs, with a 100% vendor-agnostic approach, regardless of the equipment or technology in your network. Our testing services cover system tests, pre-deployment tests, and validation or interoperability tests dedicated to the specific needs of the operators integrated with the network automation and orchestration processes based on your business and service model.

By leveraging the testing services of VECTOR TECHNOLOGIES, CSPs can free up their own internal engineering resources, which would otherwise be tied up in conducting these extensive testing activities. This not only saves time but also accelerates the overall implementation process of the new solutions and technologies.

What We Do

Mirror customer’s network environment & build a dedicated laboratory

Repetitive tests for deployed platforms or CPEs

Support the introduction of new technologies

Check for errors and changes in the tested software and its functionalities

Clarify all findings directly with the vendors and customers

Provide test scopes and final test reports with all results / findings / comments

What You Gain

More time for your team for more complex tasks and innovative projects

Accelerated deployment of new solutions

Problems detected at the testing stage – ensure the device running on the network is free of errors

Accelerated test runs with an automation approach

Tested device works flawlessly in the network environment

Testing as a Service process overview

Identifying and resolving problems at the testing stage eliminates errors in the devices running on the network, providing a seamless experience for your subscribers and protecting you against future failures.

Defining and approving the scope

We work closely with the customers to understand their specific requirements and objectives. By harnessing our multiple technology skills and expertise, we can finalize the scope and proceed with conducting the tests.

Conducting the tests

During the testing phase, our primary focus is on checking for errors and changes in the tested software and its functionalities. This involves rigorous examination of various aspects, such as network performance, device compatibility, and system stability. Any findings or discrepancies are immediately clarified with the vendors and the customers to ensure accurate reporting and resolution.

Conducting the tests

Ensuring accurate reporting and resolution

End-to-end tests

We perform end-to-end tests to verify that the tested devices work correctly within the network environment. This involves simulating realistic scenarios to assess the devices’ performance, reliability, and interoperability. By conducting these tests, any potential issues or bottlenecks can be identified and resolved before the devices are deployed in the actual network.

Comprehensive final report

As a result, we provide the customer with a final report that includes all the results, findings, and comments. This report serves as a valuable resource for both the vendors and the customers, providing insights into the performance and functionality of the tested devices. It also highlights any areas that may require further attention or improvement.
