Customer ChallengesThe industry lacks application-aware test tools that can keep up with the pace of innovation in the Carrier Ethernet space: | The Mu SolutionMu provides an application/service-aware testing solution that always adapts to your complex, dynamic Carrier Ethernet environment: |
- Time-to-release
To test against new and evolving standards such as the MEF, customers must either wait for static, canned tests from traditional test vendors or resort to building test cases manually. | - Mu enables you to dramatically reduce the time to create and execute tests. Starting with traffic from the your own network or pcaps from pcapr, tests can be created in a fraction of the time taken today. Additionally, the automated nature of the Mu solution helps reduce test execution time.
|
- Implementation diversity
The evolution of standards creates diverse implementations causing costly backwards compatibility and interoperability issues in the field. These are tackled today mostly in an ad-hoc and manual fashion. | - Mu helps simplify compatibility and interoperability testing. Its realistic, stateful replication of complex configurations reduces the need for manual set up of numerous third-party devices and versions.
|
- Application/Service-aware testing
Most traditional carrier ethernet test tools are protocol specific and consist of canned test suites based on protocol standards. | - Using Mu, the tests generated are based on your actual application/service, rather than on fixed protocols specs.
|
- Skyrocketing costs
The cost of fixing defects found later in the development lifecycle are typically over five times more expensive than those found during development. | - Mu helps you find issues early in the development lifecycle, reducing the need for costly fixes to defects found in the field.
