Value of End-to-End (E2E) Active Testing


End-to-End Active testing is a customer-oriented approach to testing quality of service across telecom networks. This over-the-air infrastructure-independent capability provides customer-oriented measures based on customer experience evaluations, even on new and complex services. Service use cases, quickly and easily designed with ANTS graphical editors, are executed under the real-life conditions by handsets or handset emulators spread across the country, thus reflecting a real user experience.
  • Monitor and manage the customer perception of QoS
  • New services tested from launch, regardless of the underlying infrastructure and delivery chain complexity
  • End-to-end control of the service delivery chain, including the segments owned by partners (i.e. application/content providers)
  • Over-the-air simulation guarantees no intrusive interface with the network infrastructure
  • Seamless benchmarking and roaming testing

A 'Zero-hole' Assurance Covering any Service on Any Network Zero-hole assurance ensures ubiquitous coverage over all services, all network technologies, all SIM profiles. It enables streamlined SA/RA management operations and process support and automation through SA/RA monitoring, validation and troubleshooting support.

ANTS Active Testing Packages are designed to enable plug-and-play support of additional services and network technologies. Each of these packages provide users with the elementary test steps required to design powerful test scenarios and detailed measures and indicators from which KPI/KQIs can be derived.

Integrated Test Management Process ANTS five-step test management process - design, plan, execute, monitor, analyze - is designed and implemented so that operators can streamline their monitoring, validation and non-regression, and troubleshooting operations.
  • Manage efficiently and effectively 10,000 + tests daily
  • Ensure new tests and indicators are easily defined by functional users
  • Integrate ANTS with existing and future enterprise processes

The E2E Active Testing Infrastructure Available from pre-built libraries or easily defined by users, tests can be instantaneously run or scheduled for a later date, once or periodically, on a subset of network elements and customer profiles (SIM/USIMs). The scheduling and resource management engine then seamlessly coordinates the execution across the Remote Test Units (RTU) deployed throughout the network, while the SIM/USIM cards are transparently dispatched at the right time from central SIM Archives.
  • Agility allows users to respond rapidly and effectively to new demands
  • Scalability to support the thousands of daily tests ensuring efficiency and quality
  • Network of RTUs commanded via wired IP or GPRS for extensive testing over the network coverage
  • Virtual SIM displacement for highly effective and efficient management of test SIM/USIM cards.
