TestRunE
TestRunE automate the tests of electronic equipment and maintains registers of those tests for future use. The platform interoperates automatically with several testing equipment and returns statistic reports and information to guide eventual repair processes.

advantages
The advantages and efficiency of this platform are emphasised when a large number of tests must be done to a specific type of product. One of the uses of TestRunE is on customer premises equipment (CPE) of telecommunication operators (GPON ONTs, Set-top boxes and Gateway routers).
The high flexibility of TestRunE enables the adaptation to different test requirements and to different type of equipment using configuration script changes. TestRunE is agnostic to brand and technology by recognizing automatically the equipment being tested and loading automatically the correct test script.
the components
The tool is provided with the following components:
- Base hardware and software;
- Configuration scripts adapted to the specific equipment and test requirements;
- Local or remote support services;
- Training services for the tool operators.
TestRunE Automatic Test Platform differentiator:
-
Only one platform per type of equipment (Set Top Box, HGW/Router, ONT or other)
-
Automatic Test Platform is extremely versatile
- Multi-Technology: Customers don’t need to have different test platforms to test CPEs from different network technologies (HFC/DOCSIS, Satellite, DVB-T, xDSL, FTTx, etc)
- Multi-Vendor: Customers don’t need to have different test platforms to test equipment from different manufacturers
- Multi-Model: Customers don’t need to have different test platforms to test different equipment models from the same equipment manufacturer
-
Fast new test cases implementation for new equipment models
- The number of different equipment already implemented (Set-top-boxes, Routers, GPON ONTs among others) ease the implementation of new test cases using software scripts and with only minor hardware adaptations.
-
Very user friendly and efficient on testing centre plant
-
Completely flexible testing line scheduling
- Versatile (multi-technology, multi-vendor, multi-model);
- Equipment automatic recognition selects automatically the test case to be run;
- The testing centre operator can test different CPE models even simultaneously;
- No need to stop production for changing equipment models.
-
Easy staff management
- Fast training and learning of testing centre operators
- No need of high skills from the testing centre operators
-
High throughput / productivity
-
Data mining and BI allows high levels in technical management and productive management

online access
The customers of the services have online access to statistic data collected during the services executed over their equipment to monitor the work and helping to identify the most significant failures detected. In some cases, preventive maintenance can be done on the equipment under test to avoid future occurrence of the most probable failures. In some cases, the simple preventive replacement of a component that normally failures after some time of use avoids the future return of the same equipment for repair and avoids customer complains.
These services can be provided at TRC facilities, at customer facilities or at the customer’s logistic operator facilities.
