Test Automation
THE NEED FOR SPEED: MIGRATING YOUR LAB TO 100G
ONPATH delivers a proven portfolio of solutions for high-performance test automation
Why Test Automation?
Product and application testing is an intensive process that needs to move fast but often takes a tremendous amount of time and resources to complete correctly. The right test automation infrastructure enables the productivity, optimization, and scale required. It provides the opportunity to test products and services faster, increase overall profitability, and establish 24x7 test operations from anywhere in the world. Test automation enables the sharing of expensive tools, increasing overall equipment utilization, and the acceleration of repeatable processes. And it can help coordinate budgets and staffing, implement a truly dynamic topology, and expand regression or interoperability testing globally.
Test Automation Challenges
Deploying a test automation infrastructure, however, poses a significant set of challenges for most organizations. Multiple test and verification routines can be especially error-prone when performed manually. Poor equipment utilization and control is typical when there is limited remote access and sharing. The tools required are often expensive and many budgets are only getting smaller. And simulating equipment and cable break failures across a broad range of networks, speeds, or media can be maddening.
ONPATH Test Automation Solutions
ONPATH delivers a proven solution for creating a high-performance test automation infrastructure. By providing the industry’s most scalable and secure technology, the productivity, optimization, and scale of a test automation infrastructure can be significantly improved – saving valuable time, space, power and, most importantly, capital. ONPATH solutions also help test automation applications provide instant equipment sharing and remote monitoring, test access, and management via software.
