Why is SEGRON'S ATF necessary?
New technologies are continuously introducing new levels of complexity. High performing applications and digital services are essential to retain customers and increase revenue. SEGRON’s test automation solutions ensure optimal service quality and rapid time-to-market for next-generation 5G and IoT services.
As new technologies enter the market, network 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 5G and IoT 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.

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 and are 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 e.g. laboratories and high tech testing facilities.
Day 1 Availability
The ATF in combination with iDA enables the so called “Day-1 Availability” of newest firmware and devices for automated E2E QoE Testing. This gives engineers, developers and device testers the possibility to test services and functionalities 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 on national and international basis help to ensure optimal quality of experience for end customers at home or while traveling.
Easy-to-Use Keyword Based Testing
An intuitive and intelligent UI 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
Device Automation
We enable automated testing on any type of smartphone (Android, iOS) tablet, IoT device without adding specialized software onto the device and without jailbraking or rooting. All devices are exactly as end-customers are using them.
Open market and custom firmware supported.
The ATF automatically adapts to firmware changes (iOS and Android) within minutes.
Mobile App Automation
WEB frontend and GUI Automation
Features
The ATF can not only automated testing for legacy and fixed line devices, new and pre-released smartphones can also be easily integrated into the framework with SEGRON’s intelligent Device Automation. Test phones exactly as end-customers are using them without rooting or jailbreaking.
SIM array enables testing of multiple SIM cards with only one mobile device. Verify complex call scenarios with RAN control to ensure calls don’t drop when users travel across zones of coverage. All tests can be performed from any location to unlimited geographic locations with SEGRON’s Remote Framework.
Beyond End2End® Testing
Uncover errors and potential issues that would otherwise remain hidden.
CI/CD integration
CI/CD require continuous testing to add the missing piece: assure the quality of the releases. 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 to achieve their goals and empower the automation flow.
TMS integration and SW Repository integration
The ATF integrates seamless into most Test Management Systems and Software Repositories (e.g. GITHUB, GITLAB, Bitbucket).
Automated intelligent alarming and NMS integration
Backend System Automation
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 enable 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
Document verification
Automated document (e.g. PDF, TXT) verification enables the ATF to e.g. verify accurate customer billing.
