Abstract: Telecom industry is becoming a top performing industry in the last few years. It is facing a unique set of challenges in order to meet the customer demands and the technology front due to its wide range of sectors. To meet those challenges till date a lot of human/manual intervention is required for Telecom services. Quality of service is not good, it consumes more time and cost is more due to human/manual intervention Telecom services. To overcome all these problems most of the industries approach Automation methods. But till date, only commercial automation tools are available in the market to automate SIP. License cost of commercial automation tools create a major problem and requires skilled automation engineers who should have knowledge of the script programming. This paper presents an Open source Robot Framework automation solution for Telecom Services. In this project Telecom libraries are implemented by using Python and Robot framework scripts are written for automation of Telecom Networks. Also implemented virtualized IPPBX, Xlite (Softphone), Cisco7940 as part of this project. As Robot framework is an open source, the cost of the Telecom network automation is reduced and it is keyword driven framework so that less a number of skilled engineers are required these are the main advantages of this project.
Keywords: Telecom Networks, Robot Framework, IPPBX, Xlite, Cisco7940, Python.
Scope of the Article: Patterns and Frameworks
