Spirent iTest integrated test authoring and automation platform

Spirent iTest is an integrated test authoring and execution platform built for testers, developers and automation teams. It provides QA organisations with a unified approach for rapidly developing, automating and maintaining test cases.

Users can: accelerate testing throughout the QA organisation by reducing manual tasks; enable all QA team members to effectively contribute to automation efforts, regardless of skill level; automate testing by easily implementing and automating pass/fail criteria within tests; use virtualisation technology to cut time to market and enable offline testing; improve collaboration across teams and between companies with a standardised communication platform; streamline testing by integrating automated processes with existing testing infrastructures.

iTest is suitable for testing scenarios, from a single device to a complex system incorporating hundreds of devices as well as test equipment and software systems. From the simplest router to the most advanced 4G technology, the platform automates testing without the need for scripting.

A pluggable platform based on open industry standards, it enables customers, partners and other test equipment vendors with an open software development kit (SDK) which they can use to automate virtually any device or software.

Standard and optional modules support a wide range of session types: command line tools, including telnet, SSH, HTTP, Serial Port and Tcl Shell; GUI tools, including Web, Adobe Flash, Java Swing, and VNC; traffic generators, including Spirent TestCenter, Spirent Avalanche, Ixia IxN2X, Ixia IxNetwork, Ixia IxLoad and Ixia IxOS; infrastructure and system test tools, including SOAP/REST web services and Vmware vSphere.
