ORTIVA WIRELESS SELECTS ITEST FOR AUTOMATED TESTING

Fanfare, delivering innovative testing solutions to service providers (SPs), network equipment manufacturers (NEMs), and enterprises, today announced that Ortiva Wireless has selected Fanfare's iTest®, the company's flagship test automation software, to automate the company's end-to-end testing process.

Ortiva Wireless develops advanced commercial solutions for the proactive management of mobile video. The company's mobile Video Optimization Gateway (mVOG) reduces bandwidth, increases network efficiency, and improves video coverage density for mobile operators. Ortiva Wireless will move to iTest as its automation platform, mitigating the need to build an in-house system and drastically reducing the reliance on a manual test process. As a result, test cases can be reused and referenced at any point during a product's testing cycle to speed time to market while increasing quality.

"iTest has had a dramatic impact in the short time it's been deployed. In the first three months alone, we've been able to generate hundreds of test suites - a feat simply not possible with the patchwork of internally built software and manual testing practices previously used," said Faisal Mushtaq, vice president of engineering for Ortiva Wireless. "We now have a fully automated suite of tests we can leverage for future products. Not only does this enable us to get our products to our customers more quickly, but it ensures the product and quality are optimized to in turn provide the video optimization services our customers and their subscribers expect."

More complex and powerful devices need a new way to test the extensive feature set without losing market advantages based on long testing cycles. Using iTest, Ortiva Wireless will eliminate the use of scripting languages such as Tcl and Perl. This will boost testing and productivity allowing product testing to keep pace with product development. Furthermore, new graduates no longer have formal training in these areas.

iTest is the leading commercially developed test automation software solution enabling testers and developers to define and execute tests verifying the functionality, performance, and behavior of a device or group of devices. These tests can then be used to find, reproduce, and resolve defects more quickly and enable an automated regression system. iTest customers experience greater testing coverage, earlier defect detection, faster testing cycles, and reduction of testing backlogs, resulting in faster time to market, improved profit margins, and enhanced customer service.

In addition, iTest's Virtual Testbed feature delivers considerable value to testing organizations by enabling testers to build test cases before devices even exist, beginning the quality process months earlier than before.

"The addition of Ortiva Wireless to our customer roster provides a snapshot into the wireless ecosystem that exists today," said Tom Ryan, president and CEO of Fanfare. "Optimization at all levels of the supply chain - from the beginning of the product lifecycle through to the carrier's ability to deliver quality services to its subscribers - demonstrates the increasing need for collaboration between vendors. A strategic approach to testing, particularly with the rollout of complex 4G networks and services, will provide significant market advantages for our customers."
