What types of telecom systems can Eggplant help modernize?

Eggplant tests OSS/BSS platforms (Amdocs, Netcracker, Oracle, Ericsson), network management systems, customer portals, service activation workflows, billing systems, 5G core network functions, and field service mobile applications. Most engagements focus on validating end-to-end customer journeys (order to activation, bill to cash, trouble to resolve) across the multi-vendor stack.

Can Eggplant test legacy telecom equipment and proprietary network systems?

Yes. Because Eggplant tests at the UI level using image and text recognition, it validates legacy NMS interfaces, proprietary network element managers, and modern web-based BSS portals with the same approach. This is essential in telecom where modernisation runs alongside decades-old systems that cannot be retired.

How does Eggplant handle testing across different network conditions and device types?

Eggplant tests customer-facing applications across web, iOS, Android, and tablet form factors, including under different network conditions (3G, 4G, 5G, Wi-Fi, weak signal). For network operations testing, it validates NOC dashboards and service management tools regardless of the underlying network technology.

Can Eggplant scale for large telecom operator environments?

Yes. Eggplant supports distributed test execution across regional operations, role-based access for separated network and customer-care teams, and integration with telecom-grade CI/CD toolchains. It is used by tier-one CSPs validating workflows across hundreds of millions of subscribers.

How does Eggplant integrate with telecom DevOps and continuous deployment practices?

Eggplant integrates with Jenkins, GitLab, Azure DevOps, and telecom-specific CI/CD platforms. For TM Forum-aligned environments, it supports test evidence and reporting structures that telecom architects use for service certification and digital transformation programmes.

How quickly can a telecom operator see results after implementing Eggplant?

Most operators see meaningful results within the first two quarters. Initial wins typically come from automating high-frequency regression workflows; service activation flows, customer portal journeys, and NOC dashboard validation, where manual testing scaled worst across the multi-vendor stack.

Automated Software Testing for Telecommunications

Eggplant for OSS/BSS testing automation, 5G software validation, and network operations testing across multi-vendor telecom stacks from legacy switches to cloud-native functions.

Nobody Owns the Integration Layer

A single customer journey (order to activation) touches OSS provisioning, BSS billing, a CRM, a network inventory system, and a legacy platform nobody wants to retire. Testing this end-to-end manually is impossible at the pace CSPs need to ship. Testing it with generic automation means testing the parts you can reach, not the workflow customers experience.

Why Automated Software Testing Matters in Telecommunications

End-to-End OSS/BSS Workflow Validation

A service activation failure rarely originates in a single system. It originates in the handoff between OSS provisioning, BSS billing, network inventory, and the customer portal – the layer no single team owns. Eggplant walks the full customer journey from order capture to billing confirmation, validating every system handoff in a single run.

Multi-Vendor Stack Testing Without Specialized Connectors

Telecom environments run Amdocs, Netcracker, Oracle, Ericsson, and in-house platforms simultaneously. Eggplant tests all of them at the UI level – no specialized connectors, no rework when any vendor ships an update.

5G and Legacy Infrastructure in the Same Test

5G core functions need continuous validation as features roll out. Legacy switches, OSS systems, and billing platforms need regression testing with every change. One platform covers both – no separate tools for 5G and legacy.

Continuous Testing Across Network Operations

NOC dashboards, field service mobile apps, and customer portals each need validation before every release. Eggplant integrates with Jenkins, GitLab, and Azure DevOps to run continuous testing across all three — catching degraded displays, broken service management workflows.

What You Get

AI-driven software testing for every critical system and workflow.

OSS/BSS End-to-End Coverage

Test every customer journey from order to activation, bill to cash, and trouble to resolve across your full multi-vendor stack. Integration failures between OSS provisioning, BSS billing, and customer-facing systems surface in test rather than in production escalations.
Technology-Agnostic Platform Testing

Eggplant tests any vendor platform (Amdocs, Netcracker, Oracle, Ericsson, or in-house BSS) using image recognition, with no specialized connectors or vendor-specific integrations required. When a vendor ships an update, testing continues without rework.
5G and Legacy Validation

Validate 5G core network functions and legacy infrastructure in the same test environment. No separate tools for new and old systems; one platform covers the full technology estate as 5G deployment runs alongside the systems it is replacing.
Network Operations Testing

Validate NOC dashboards, field service tools, and customer portals through continuous testing integrated with your CI/CD pipeline. Degraded interfaces and broken workflows reach the team before they reach operators or customers.

The Ultimate AI Testing Playbook

The pressure to release updates faster is greater today than ever to keep up with customer expectations. DevOps and continuous testing should provide the answer to keeping up with the pace of change, but unless testing teams harness everything these ways of working have to offer, they aren't enough.

As this playbook explains, the key to success is adding AI testing to the toolkit.
