Case Study: NetCologne achieves faster, more comprehensive CPE testing with QA Cafe CDRouter

Netcologne Uses CDRouter to Guarantee High Quality Broadband Services

NetCologne, a major regional broadband service provider in Germany, needed a better way to qualify customer premises equipment and new firmware for its network, especially for IPv6 and TR-069 testing. Its manual process involved more than 300 test cases and took weeks to complete, making it difficult to keep up with ongoing CPE selection and updates. QA Cafe’s CDRouter automated test platform was chosen to help replace that labor-intensive work.

With QA Cafe and CDRouter, NetCologne was able to run IPv4, IPv6, and TR-069 tests unattended, fully automated, and overnight, greatly expanding the number and depth of test cycles. The company reported faster, more comprehensive testing, easier setup with QA Cafe’s NTA1000 hardware, and strong support from QA Cafe, including custom builds when needed.
