IBS Group Introduced its Test Automation Platform at SDN & OpenFlow World Congress in Germany
RAMSEY, the Isle of Man, October 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Please refer to relevant legal information at the end of the document
IBS Group [http://www.ibsgr.com ], a leading software development and IT services
provider in Central and Eastern Europe announces that Luxoft, a member of the IBS Group
and a global provider of advanced application and product development services, unveiled
Twister for OpenFlow at the SDN & OpenFlow World Congress in Darmstadt, Germany.
Luxoft's Twister test automation platform is an open source test automation framework
designed specifically for network infrastructure markets and it is now enhanced to support
the OpenFlow protocol for software-defined networking (SDN).
As a member of the Open Networking Foundation (ONF) and an active participant in the
semi-annual ONF PlugFest interoperability event, Luxoft is at the forefront of engineering
development services in the SDN market. In addition to being leading edge networking
technology, software-defined networks separate network data and control planes while
inserting a vendor-agnostic interface between these layers thereby removing barriers to
innovation in network virtualization and programmability. SDN allows applications to
dynamically configure the network and allow accelerated changes to networking services.
"Software-defined networking, combined with Cloud technologies, opens a new world of
innovation opportunities for telecommunication providers and commercial enterprises. SDN
and OpenFlow facilitate advanced services and Cloud applications that make Luxoft's
Twister for OpenFlow test automation framework a compelling product for immediate
improvements in product development lifecycles, infrastructure costs, test planning and
management, and system uptime," said Vasiliy Suvorov, Vice President of Technology
Strategy at Luxoft.
Luxoft's Twister for OpenFlow framework gives vendors the ability to execute and
control parallel testing scripts run on multiple platforms, which speeds up and
standardizes the conformance and system testing phases of product development. Luxoft's
platform works with multiple OpenFlow controllers or traffic generators and can handle
complex test scenarios using the OpenFlow protocol, controller command-line interfaces, or
graphical user interfaces. Twister's automated testing capability, enhanced with reporting
and statistics features, responds to ever-present tight release deadlines while addressing
an increased demand for quality in new, complex network products.
With Luxoft's Twister for OpenFlow, manufacturers can immediately implement more
efficient test processes and greatly extend the scope of their current test coverage.
Mr. Suvorov added, "Our professional development services can further accelerate the
time-to-market for our clients' products and improve their overall development
efficiency."
Luxoft's Twister for OpenFlow framework delivers several important benefits for
telecom-related businesses:
- Switch / router engineering test automation for manageable and predictable results
- Simultaneous application testing for greater efficiency in complex systems scenarios
- Accelerated development test phases to reduce costs and time-to-market
- Extended test coverage to increase quality of the testing procedure
- One-stop, customizable open source platform to adapt to various project demands
