Case Study: Large Automating Service Provider achieves 78% faster regression testing and €180K per-cycle savings with Keysight automated test solution

Service Provider Yields Improvement by Automating the Validation and Test Cycle

Large Automating Service Provider, a broad-service operator delivering fixed, mobile, IoT, cloud and security services with strict SLAs, faced protracted, manual validation cycles in its staging lab while qualifying multivendor network equipment and frequent NEM software releases. The heavy manual effort increased time-to-deploy, required standby resources for urgent bug and security fixes, and risked service interruptions. Keysight’s Services was engaged to apply its automation and test-tool integration expertise to address these challenges.

Keysight delivered a customized, turnkey automation test solution built on open-source CI/CD components (Jenkins, GitLab, Robot Framework, Python, NETCONF/YANG) plus Keysight tester tools and a REST API–based framework. The implementation produced a 78% reduction in regression test execution time, a calculated saving of 180,000 EUR per test cycle and avoidance of 12 weeks of manual work, while enabling 160+ tests per cycle, multivendor support, flexible device definitions and multi-hardware aggregation. Keysight’s solution now provides a reusable foundation for faster, lower-risk deployments.
