Network Monitoring

EUROPEAN MOBILE OPERATOR - DEVICE ACCEPTANCE TEAM

CHALLENGES:

  • Complex set up of Network Monitoring in place that does not allow update of test cases

  • Looking to test with most popular devices in the market/ What their end users are using

​

SOLUTION:

  • ViSer full test automation to test  Call, Messages, Data transfer, browsing fluidity,.
    Alerts generated by viser to an email address when a test case failed twice.

  • Commercial end user devices used

​

RESULTS:

  • Easy to update test scenarios 

  • Already using viSer so the cost of the set up was 1/10 of the existing system upgrade

  • Portable to use in any location needed to monitor performance 
     

Network Monitoring

SIM Testing

EUROPEAN MOBILE OPERATOR - DEVICE ACCEPTANCE TEAM

CHALLENGES:

  • Complex set up testing manually 40 different SIM cards with 40 devices to check all provisions works correctly

  • Frequent mistakes managing all devices 
     

​

SOLUTION:

  • Smartboard hardware device that can support 10 different SIM cards connected to one device with a flex cable
    Python controlled

  • viSer set up to automate testing on each individual SIM card

​

RESULTS:

  • Fully automated reducing the need for technical staff to monitor and test

  • Only 4 devices are required reducing cost and risk of devices failure

  • Time savings of 90%

Troubleshooting

EUROPEAN MOBILE OPERATOR - DEVICE ACCEPTANCE TEAM

CHALLENGES:

  • Issues with certain devices having a large number of call drops

  • Communication difficulties with OEMs 

  • Time consuming investigations for device acceptance teams and Core Network Teams
     

​

SOLUTION:

  • viSer Test Automation with embedded scenario creation so tester can easily create test scripts
    Replay function to trigger OEMs logging prior to testing and save log afterwards

  • VWS access and option to share results with OEMS

  • VWS comparison reports
     

​

RESULTS:

  • Time saving of around 60%

  • Report sharing with OEMs who can easily see benchmark results against other networks

  • Technical teams can focus on other tasks

Troubleshooting

Enterprise

EUROPEAN MOBILE OPERATOR - DEVICE ACCEPTANCE TEAM

CHALLENGES:

  • Enterprise teams needing some benchmark data when they recommend devices to enterprise customers based on their needs

  • Information collection difficult as Device Acceptance teams don’t collect this information

​

SOLUTION:

  •  viSer Test Automation with Test Plans that measure Performance, Battery Current Consumption, Fluidity/Reliability

  • Reports in excel format were the results are plotted automatically once they are pulled from the device

​

RESULTS:

  • Bespoke database with all devices in one documents

  • Easy comparisons on weakness and strengths on each device.

  • Enterprise recommendations based on needs, speed, battery performance etc

Audio MOS

EUROPEAN MOBILE OPERATOR - DEVICE ACCEPTANCE TEAM

CHALLENGES:

  • Audio MOS to be tested in any device

  • Option for Android & iOS

  • End to end option

​

SOLUTION:

  • viSer Test Automation with Audio MOS add on option.

  • UL/DL/End to End

  • POLQA algorithm MOS score

  • MOS score average per call and intermediate every 8sec

  • Recorded sample and reference sample available to replay at VWS

​

RESULTS:
