Defining a new approach to VoD & IPTV Testing
VoD & IPTV testing is notoriously difficult to undertake without the considerable expense of building your own test facilities. Testing is also the task in any VoD or IPTV systems integration where corners are most likely to be cut and testing not as rigorous as it needs to be. All this results in problems occurring just where and when you don’t need them - at launch and in the live environment where they are hard to track down and fix.
Using their purpose built VoD & IPTV testing facility in Southampton, BCi have developed a range of VoD & IPTV Testing Services that allow operators to have robust test programmes without the expense of procuring their own test environment.
As well as the VoD & IPTV testing facilities, BCi has developed a testing methodology where components or entire systems are tested against a pre defined list of scenarios - designed to show how the system will behave in the live environment. BCi’s VoD & IPTV testing service provides clients with peace of mind that tests will be applied in a representative VoD or IPTV environment using a ‘load stressed’ platform and monitoring of real set top boxes.
Clients with their own VoD or IPTV testing labs can also benefit from BCi’s VoD & IPTV testing solutions as they can be installed in a rack on the client’s site - enhancing and complementing existing testing facilities.
BCi’s Director of Operations Mark Hooper commented:
“As you would expect from BCi, our VoD & IPTV testing solutions have been designed with low cost and fast set up times in mind. You’ll get a more comprehensive testing solution at a price considerably less than doing it yourself or using a large systems integrator or consultancy”
