Service-Centric Testing
Turning Networks into Customer Experience
It's All About Services
At its core, the Testing Application validates end-to-end Ethernet and IP services over any network infrastructure—placing the user experience at the forefront, with the network, technologies, and protocols as enablers. Service attributes and tests are specifically engineered to reflect each service, access type, and infrastructure—creating a customer-centric layer that sits above the network—elevating technology into experience.
Ethernet & IP Services
- Ethernet: E-Line, E-LAN, E-Tree, Access E-Line, Transit E-Line
- IP: Internet Access
Access Technologies
- Dedicated: Fiber, Ethernet
- Broadband: PON, DOCSIS
- Wireless: Satellite, 5G
Subscriber Point of View
- Functionality: Mapping, Protocols
- Traffic: CoS, Bandwidth, Performance
By aligning testing with the end-to-end services, providers can design, engineer, and optimize their networks around a customer-centric layer that sits above the infrastructure.

The Testing-Catalog Duo
The Catalog Application works alongside the Testing Application to form a bridge between what’s validated in the network (Testing) and what’s offered in the market (Catalog)—seamlessly turning network-validated services into market-ready products.
TESTING application
Tests Customer-Like Services in Production Network Setting
Testing validates—directly on the network—the very services intended for customer delivery, establishing the technical foundation on which every product offering is built.
CATALOg application
Turns Tested Services into Market-Ready Products
Catalog builds on that foundation—adding marketing, commercial, geographic, and operational dimensions to create complete offerings, then makes them available to customers in the Product Catalog through privilege-based access.
Testing and Catalog form a powerful duo—ensuring every product offering is not only well-described, but grounded in real-world, test-proven service behavior.
The Supervision-Testing Duo
The Testing Application works alongside the Supervision Application to form a closed loop between issue detection (Supervision) and issue resolution (Testing)—seamlessly turning flagged faults into actionable fixes.
SUPERVISION application
Detects Issues in Real-Time
Supervision performs ongoing monitoring and assurance of live services—instantly detecting degradations, faults, and SLA violations, triggering alarms that escalate the issue for deeper testing and resolution.
TESTING application
Resolves Issues in No Time
When Supervision detects an issue, Testing kicks in—launching real-time, targeted tests to trace the root cause, validate the resolution, and restore the full service.
Supervision and Testing form a powerful duo—ensuring issues are not only detected instantly but also resolved efficiently, guaranteeing SLA compliance and sustained end-to-end service quality.
