As part of its continuing evolution in automation, Ixia has forged two strategic partnerships with industry leaders - QualiSystems and ONPATH Technologies. QualiSystems is a leading provider of lab management, device provisioning, and test automation software. Their TestShell™ software enables centralized lab control, monitoring, and automation over a diverse array of lab equipment. ONPATH is a leading provider of scalable connectivity and monitoring solutions. Their Universal Connectivity System™ delivers an advanced platform that effectively rewires and reconfigures your lab as necessary to execute different tests.

QualiSystem’s TestShell software integrates well with Ixia’s Test Composer, allowing all your Ixia tests to cohesively cooperate with other equipment in the lab – reconfiguring as necessary to execute all your tests. TestShell takes advantage of ONPATH’s API to directly control its functions as well. Working together as one, the three solutions allow you to execute many diverse network tests in your lab and collect results automatically. This is a huge benefit for conducting regression tests automatically after nightly builds. Also, you can test the characteristics of new lab configurations against previous configurations at the push of a button!  

Ixia’s motivation behind the partnership lies in its dedication to providing effective and efficient test solutions in an era of tightening budgets. By consolidating lab functions and automatically rewiring the lab for each test, you can do more – lots more – within your existing budget. We’ve also ensured that these partner applications allow users to take full advantage of all Ixia product features, such as Macro Recorder and Quick Tests.

Stay tuned for upcoming technical seminars, where people from Ixia, ONPATH, and QualiSystems will present this exciting new partnership in detail and directly answer your questions. Meanwhile, you can get more information on Ixia’s Automation Partner web page.
