Case Study: Market‑Leading OEM Company achieves accelerated SDN test automation and agile delivery with Happiest Minds' re‑engineered SDN Test Framework

Re-engineering of SDN Test Framework for a market leading OEM

Happiest Minds partnered with a market-leading OEM that was transitioning to a software-defined networking (SDN) model and needed SDN test integration. The client’s existing test framework had no clear separation between test data and logic and lacked interfaces and abstractions between functional blocks, making test-case development rigid and slowing delivery.

Happiest Minds re‑engineered the framework with clear layering and abstractions, leveraged open-source tools to create SDN test scripts (including ODL), and built utilities for topology creation, traffic generation and flow‑table management. They also delivered accelerators for auto-generating test cases, Python/Java scripts and REST interface code; the result was freed-up test-engineer bandwidth, easier framework extension through a model‑based approach, and continuous Agile testing via Jenkins/Jira integration.
