A leading mobile vendor found that Mu Dynamics provided the right testing solution to meet their needs. The vendor has made the Mu Dynamics solution an integral part of their development lifecycle and uses it to recreate mobile application mixes representing millions of mobile users accessing thousands of applications.

Testing Requirements

The vendor needed to:

• ensure their systems were accurately detecting and classifying and applying policies to the traffic over GTP tunnel.
• verify their systems could conduct all this analysis at high levels of scale to match the traffic levels expected within the deployed networks.

Challenges

The traffic generated by traditional testing tools owned by the vendor were unable to accurately reflect the mix of applications found in mobile networks. They needed a solution that could keep up with all new versions of applications.

Solution

The vendor made Mu Dynamics an integral part of their development lifecycle, using it to recreate mobile application mixes representing millions of mobile users accessing thousands of applications. Now they can test with different classes of applications, including:

• Streaming Media (Netflix, YouTube and Pandora)
• Gaming (Angry Birds, Mafia Wars and FarmVille)
• Communications (Skype, Gmail and Yahoo!)

In addition, the Mu Dynamics solution made it easy for them to create test cases for additional applications important to their specific network operator customers.

Results

With Mu Dynamics’ LTE/4G testing solution, the mobile vendor has the testing solution they need to confidently roll out new product releases. They have:

• Broad application support – access to thousands of ready-to-run tests for the broad range of applications found in today’s 3G and LTE networks.
• Performance –recreate millions of mobile subscribers accessing thousands of different applications to ensure systems can scale.
• Speed – keep pace with ever-evolving production networks by rapidly creating tests for new applications or extensions of applications, as soon as they appear.
• Ease of use – simple work flows, automated test cases and flexible testing scenarios.
