Why is SEGRON'S ATF necessary?
As new technologies enter the market, service providers have to cope with new levels of complexity. At the same time, interworking these new elements of technology into existing networks has become business critical. The result is a dramatic increase in the need for testing. SEGRON’s test automation solutions ensure optimal service quality and rapid time-to-market for next-generation services.
The SEGRON Beyond End-to-End® testing approach integrates seamlessly into existing quality assurance systems.
More Complex Networks
First and foremost, networks and services have become more complex. Today, in addition to core network technologies, every telecom operator has to maintain and test at least 3 radio access networks in parallel (2G/3G/LTE), which are often multi-vendor implementations. 5G and network virtualization are on the horizon or already there, meaning that this complexity is only going to increase.
Development Methodologies
Just as networks and services are getting more complex, agile development methodologies, which are widely adopted by network and software vendors, are radically compressing version cycles. The result? Software updates and upgrades are being released more rapidly and under considerably more time pressure.
Higher Stakes
As if this weren’t enough, extensive mobile data usage has made not only businesses, but also consumers and even society itself, completely dependent on digital services and applications. Transparency and ease-of-use continue to drive up usage, and this puts pressure on organizations to offer services that are more and more complex to produce and ensure quality performance.

Benefits
Immediate Results
SEGRON’s ATF is a turnkey solution, and deployments deliver benefits in 1-2 weeks.
Quality Improvements & Cost Reduction
By using SEGRON’s ATF, clients can achieve higher test quality in record time. The result is a significant reduction in costs and improved resource utilization.
Shortened Time-to-Market & Improved Testing Processes
By running the SEGRON ATF in an existing testing environment, customers can optimize processes and shorten time-to-market for all types of product deployments.
Powerful Reporting and Analysis
SEGRON’s ATF generates detailed test reports, logs and KPI’s which support management reporting and troubleshooting. Alarms and alerts can be configured to send notifications when service issues are detected (valuable for 24/7 testing).
Latest Newly Released Devices
Our end-to-end testing approach utilizes the latest out-of-the-box Android and iOS smartphones without rooting or jailbreaking, and we keep pace with device evolution. Integration of device or firmware changes are seamless, can be implemented within a matter of minutes and have no maintenance impact on existing tests.
Integration with Major Network Equipment and Tool Manufacturers
SEGRON’s ATF is designed to integrate with the MML (man-machine language) and GUI (graphical user interface) configuration interface for all major IT and telco equipment suppliers. This capability enables automated SUT configuration, alarm and log analysis and expands the depth of testing which is required in laboratories and high-tech testing facilities.
Day 1 Availability
When used in combination with the iDA, SEGRON’s ATF enables “Day 1 Availability” of newest firmware and devices for automated end-to-end Quality of Experience (QoE) testing. This gives engineers, developers and device testers the capability to test services and functions on even pre-released devices and newest device firmware versions.
Testing in Any Location
The ATF can automate testing workflows on a domestic or international basis.
Service verification of both national and international connections helps ensure optimal quality of experience for end customers at home and while travelling.
Easy-to-Use Keyword Based Testing
An intuitive and intelligent user interface enables developers and engineers to design test scenarios for even the most complex services by themselves without having any development skills.
End-to-End Testing Capabilities
Device Automation
We enable automated testing on any type of smartphone (Android, iOS), tablet or IoT device without adding specialized software onto the device and without jailbreaking or rooting. All devices are exactly as end-customers are using them.
Open market and custom firmware are supported. The ATF automatically adapts to firmware changes (iOS and Android) within minutes.
Mobile App Automation
We enable automated app testing for built-in and custom applications on any type of smartphone (even pre-released devices) in any location.
WEB frontend and GUI Automation
WebUI (HTML, JAVA), applications (JAVA, Windows executables).
Beyond End2End® Testing Capabilities
Uncover errors and potential issues that would otherwise remain hidden by using off-the-shelf available functions of the ATF.
CI/CD Integration
CI/CD require continuous testing to add the missing piece: assure the quality of every release. SEGRON’s ATF can be integrated into your CI/CD pipeline to execute thousands test cases per day, autonomously. It performs regression, performance, API and security tests to help QA engineers and developers achieve their goals and empower the automation flow.
TMS Integration and SW Repository Integration
The ATF integrates seamless into most test management systems (TMS) and Software Repositories, e.g., GITHUB, GITLAB, Bitbucket.
Automated Intelligent Alarming and NMS Integration
Configurable intelligent alarming and integration into network management systems (NMS) ensure quickest reaction times in case of failure detection.
Backend System Automation
Any type of automatable backend system can be integrated into the testing process. This enables frontend and backend verification, as well as Beyond End2End® capabilities for root cause detection and in-depth service analysis.
Network Communication Analysis
Signal tracing and analysis are essential for high quality testing. The ATF Signalling Protocol Analysis feature is the direct result of decades of proven field experience in software development and signalling network design. It enables users to analyse and verify the entire 3GPP and IETF protocol stack on a bit level. The ATF easily analyses all protocols decoded by Wireshark.
Machine Interface Automation
The ATF integrates seamlessly with the MML syntax and GUI of all major IT and network equipment manufacturers. This feature enables automated configuration and log analysis to ensure the highest possible test quality.
Document Verification
Automated document (e.g., PDF, TXT) analysis enables the ATF to compare documents to system records in order to verify accurate customer billing.
