Case Study: a major network equipment manufacturer accelerates time-to-market with Spirent Automation Solution

Major Network Equipment Manufacturing Company - Customer Case Study

The customer, a major network equipment manufacturing company, faced significant challenges in product testing as its internally developed automation system could not keep pace with its expanding product lines and complex testing requirements. This led to a testing cycle that was seven times longer, jeopardizing time-to-market goals and increasing resource costs. To address this, they partnered with vendor Spirent Communications.

Spirent implemented its Velocity iTest development system and provided extensive Professional Services to create a customized automation solution. The results were substantial, including over $500,000 saved in resources, a 40% reduction in scripting costs, and a 1000% reduction in the time between maintenance releases. Spirent's solution enabled the automation of 65% of test cases within the first year, allowing the customer to meet its quality and time-to-market objectives without increasing headcount.
