Case Study: a major top-selling North American semiconductor company accelerates test validation with Spirent Automation Solution

Major top-selling North American semiconductor company - Customer Case Study

The customer, a major top-selling North American semiconductor company, faced severe delays bringing its communication chipsets to market. This was due to a bottleneck at a third-party research lab responsible for validation testing, which could not keep up with demand with its manual, time-consuming processes. To overcome this, the company engaged Spirent Communications for a professional services solution to design and implement a test automation framework, utilizing tools like Spirent Velocity and Velocity iTest.

Spirent implemented a comprehensive automation solution that included test and artifact servers, a centralized reporting database, and the development of reusable automated test suites. The results were transformative: test case execution accelerated from one hour to just six minutes, and regression testing cycles were reduced from 2-3 weeks to 7-10 days. This led to a 1042% increase in testing capacity and a 320% improvement in regression cycle quality, allowing the vendor to get products to market faster with higher quality.
