TEM - IN/Prepay Integration & Testing
Context
- Integration and migration of complete IN and Prepay platforms from existing customer core network to new solution – including integration of a new NMS platform
- The integration and migration from legacy to new system is to be achieved in a phased approach
Business Objectives & Challenges
- The entire solution needs to be migrated from legacy systems without any impact on service
- The IN / Prepay NMS solution needs complete testing and service verification in lab and live network environments
- NMS integration, testing and migration have to be planned, implemented and executed for each project phase, covering all internal and external interfaces
Approach & Solution
- Integration: The IN/Prepay platform needs to be integrated into lab and live environments and interface with existing and new systems
- Testing: Test cases and scripts for IN and Prepay need to be written, covering NMS, Fault Management, Configuration Management, Administration Management, Performance Management, Security
- Coverage: Test cases need to cover 100% of requirements, and consider each network entity
- Execution: Testing needs to be executed in a simulated lab environment as well as in integration and live environments
Results & Added Value
- Delivered integration plan and design specifications and achieved lab readiness and full integration of NMS platforms, IN and Prepay platforms in all test environments
- Completed development and documentation of Test Case definitions and Test Specifications, meeting aggressive targets and overall programme milestones
- Achieved 100% test coverage on requirements of the solution
- Covered all parts and phases of the solution in the Integration and Migration cycle
- Executed test cases in lab environment
