NTT selects FanfareSVT to test triple play devices

Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation Represents the First Customer Win Signed with Fanfare's Japanese Partner, Compleo


Mountain View, Calif., (ANTARA News/PRNewswire-AsiaNet) - Fanfare, delivering innovative testing solutions to network equipment manufacturers (NEMs) and service providers (SPs), today announced that Japan's Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT), one of the world's largest telecommunications companies, is their latest customer and plans to deploy FanfareSVT(R) test automation software (also known as iTest(TM) Team).

NTT's Network Service Systems Laboratory will use FanfareSVT to test edge routers designed to deliver triple play services over NTT's network to its customers.

NTT chose FanfareSVT to help eliminate testing bottlenecks within NTT as well as between NTT and the networking manufacturers they partner with, to significantly reduce the time it takes to test and roll-out new services. Fanfare provides a standard means of receiving and communicating complex test results. Because of this, NTT hopes to be able to detect and correct device defects before they are placed into the network. This should enable NTT to deliver popular services to their customers, such as triple play, while maintaining their commitment to high quality standards.

The NTT agreement was reached via Fanfare's Japanese distribution partner, Compleo, Inc. Compleo provides consulting and distribution services to U.S. high-technology companies looking to expand into and penetrate the Japanese market.

"We are excited to be able to add a customer of NTT's caliber to Fanfare's growing client list," said Naoto Katsube, president of Compleo. "The Japanese market presents a tremendous growth opportunity for Fanfare. We are currently in discussions with several key Japanese companies, and we anticipate announcing further customer wins over the coming months."

FanfareSVT is designed to simplify and accelerate device and network testing throughout development and quality assurance (QA) teams and between companies. FanfareSVT provides a communication platform that overcomes barriers such as language, location, and non-existent reporting templates that have made the basic communication of finding and reporting a bug, reproducing it, and verifying the fix a challenge. Fanfare's products serve as the common language between feature testers and developers, as well as NEMs and SPs, enabling them to seamlessly share test assets to quickly improve product quality and speed the deployment of new equipment and services to market.

"Our partnership with Compleo and the addition of NTT to our customer roster represents the next phase in the evolution of our company," said Tom Ryan, president of Fanfare. "Ensuring quality in network device testing is a global issue, and Fanfare is committed to offering its solutions to companies worldwide that are as equally committed to enhancing the quality of their products and services."
