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 test scope

We work closely with you to explore your network and recognize your unique goals. With this knowledge and our expertise, we can finalize the scope and proceed with the tests.

Defining and approving the test scope

Exploring your network

Conducting the tests

During the testing phase, we detekt errors in the tested software and its functionalities. Any discrepancies are swiftly clarified with the vendors and reported to you to ensure optimal solution.

Conducting the tests

Swift reporting and optimal solution

End-to-end tests

End-to-end testing includes simulating scenarios to assess the devices’ performance, reliability, and interoperability, to identify and fix any issues or bottlenecks before the devices are deployed in the network.
