Discover how you can automate your continuous regression testing, what is the process and the realted benefits.

According to Apple, in the last quarter of 2019, the recently-released iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max made up nearly 70% of all American iPhone sales. It’s often been remarked that any data Apple happens to share should be taken with a grain of salt (they don’t release information about how many units they actually move),

Let’s say you’re planning to migrate to a new high-redundancy CS core network—what’s the first challenge that comes to mind? For many of you, it might be network architecture. The structure of modern telco networks is increasingly complex, and any new network rollout is going to be much more involved as a result. To wit, you’ve got to make sure

Raise your hand if a subscriber has ever complained to your company because she wasn’t getting the Quality of Service (QoS) she was paying for. We’re guessing that a lot of readers will have raised their hands. Sometimes, complaints like this arise because of forces beyond the control of the backend offices that actually handle QoS (if the subscriber lives

It might seem somewhat paradoxical, but the better your LTE coverage gets, the harder it becomes to test something like SRVCC. Verizon, for instance, has about 93% LTE coverage in the United States (according to a recent OpenSignal report), which means that at most there’s only 7% of the country where a handover from LTE to a 2G/3G circuit switched

For the best possible results, your test lab needs to make use of the absolute latest in cutting edge technology. Because this is the arena in which you test changes and additions to your network—including new connected devices like the internet of things (IoT)—you need to find a way to replicate existing network conditions as closely as possible. Otherwise, you

At most telco operators, end-to-end tests are the dream. Given that each new network update or service offering potentially requires dozens of testcases verifying conformance, acceptance, functionality, and performance, true end-to-end tests that validate the entire functioning of the network from the end-user’s perspective are daunting and often difficult to accomplish (especially if you’re testing by hand). As such, your
