Overview
VIAVI Fusion is a network test automation system for service providers. It combines micro-test endpoints, hardware test heads and software to remotely test new service activation, monitor performance and troubleshoot networks of any size.
By testing the network remotely, operators can determine whether a technician dispatch is required. When a truck roll is still needed, the field technician receives test data that identifies the network issue or customer problem in advance, which supports shorter mean-time-to-repair (MTTR).
Test endpoints
The Fusion QT 600 is a carrier-grade 10 Gigabit Ethernet test head that is an integral component of the system. It emulates end-user equipment, generates traffic that simulates customer traffic patterns, and runs tests such as ping, traceroute, 802.1ag/Y.1731 loopback and linktrace, multistream, RFC 2544 and Y.1564. It can loop back edge and customer premises equipment so that the network can be segmented to show whether a problem lies inside or outside the service provider's domain. The Network & Service Companion (NSC-100) can also act as a remotely controlled test agent for Fusion.
Centralized test management
Tests can be created and managed centrally, scheduled to run at set times and intervals, and queued until resources become available. Test results can be e-mailed automatically and kept as a baseline for later comparison.
Key Features
- Combination of micro-test endpoints, hardware and software in one test automation system
