Digital Assurance Telecom Case Study Agile Performance Testing for a Leading Telecom Operator About the Client: The client is one of the fastest growing telecom operators from Europe with 14 million customers in 9 countries. They offer mobile, fixed broadband and telephony, data network and content services. The Business Challenge: Faster Time to Market: The European market for telecom providers has always been very competitive with regards to time-to-market. Risk Priority: The single release roll-out model is high risk and requires huge efforts. The challenge was to upgrade the wheels of a running truck rather than the truck. Cost Factor: Customer organization strategy was more aligned towards cost optimization factors in every single solution. This posed the biggest challenge for turning around the 4G rollouts. Reduce Mean Time to Analyze Performance Issues: 4G rollout had numerous native applications integrated with varied third-party business chains. Key Benefits: 30% reduction in time for performance bottleneck identification Issues identified early in the lifecycle thus reducing the cost of failure Faster Rollout Process maturity with continuous integration in sprints with flexibility of incorporating adhoc user stories Reusability of performance test script components for each sprint brought down the overall performance test scripting cycle End-user experience metrics helped the client resolve performance issues quickly
