QoE monitoring

Data QoE Robots

A Systematic Approach to Applications Quality of Experience

Data QoE Robots are used both for Testing and Monitoring of Internet and Intranet services and applications. Those reference users are connected and behaving like real users. They evaluate the service delivered according to what they see on-screen.

Our robots are deployed at strategic points for your business: headquarters, point-of-sale, branch offices, mobile networks, internet, …

  • They continuously execute business scenarios on your critical applications
  • They control your applications portfolio and IP infrastructure performance
  • They provide factual, calibrated KPIs and KQIs on end-to-end availability and user response times

A Uniform QoE Baseline for your Internet and Intranet Services

  • For every IP application: ERP, messaging systems, business applications, websites, E-payments, etc.
  • Usability at every stage of the development lifecycle
  • Easy to understand and use for your technical team, businesses and customers

Relevant Indicators for Comprehensive Tracking and Analysis

While executing each scenario, the robot transmits QoE indicators:

  • About the overall path
  • For each stage, functional and/or technical
You detect early warning signs of incidents and can immediately begin detailed analysis of malfunctions to minimize impact on your customers.

HIGHLIGHTS
  • Integrated system (HW+SW), carrier grade and calibrated.
  • Scenario in graphical mode or standard protocol mode
  • Support for all types of client software: web, Citrix ®, java client, proprietary clients,
  • Scenario in graphical mode or standard protocol mode
  • Dependable replication of user-critical scenarios
  • Simultaneous execution of multiple scenarios
  • Deployment within both test and live environments
  • Seamless integration in your business environment: security and systems management
  • Centralized Administration and reporting on Witbe Experience Center
  • Possible control through third-part systems using web services.
