Simplify Telecom Testing Across Devices, Networks, and Regions with TestGrid

In telecom, there’s no such thing as ideal conditions. Signal strength changes. Devices move. Networks fluctuate under load. And still, your systems are expected to deliver uninterrupted service across regions, carriers, and evolving mobile technologies.

You’re already managing the complexity of hardware fragmentation, global coverage, and constant infrastructure shifts. What you need is a testing platform that works with that reality, not against it.

TestGrid gives your teams the ability to test telecom services in real-world conditions, on real devices, with complete control over infrastructure, network simulation, and execution.

Whether you’re supporting 5G rollout, validating VoLTE performance, or simulating signal interference, you can do it all in one place without waiting for external labs or chasing stability across disconnected tools.

1. Deploy where your network lives

Telecom infrastructure doesn’t sit neatly in one place. You’re often working across private data centers, hybrid systems, and secure network zones.

With TestGrid, you can deploy the platform wherever it fits best—on-prem, in a private cloud, or in a hybrid setup that reflects how your systems already run.

There’s no need to restructure your environment or route traffic through third-party infrastructure. You get the flexibility to test where your network and data already live, with full alignment to internal policies and operational models.

It’s your infrastructure, your control, and your conditions with testing that works inside it.

2. Test inside your own network perimeter

You’re likely working in a tightly secured environment, and your test data should stay within that boundary. TestGrid is designed to work inside your network, not outside of it.

You can connect through site-to-site tunnels, run tests over VPN, and work behind firewalls without creating special exceptions or temporary exposures.

This setup makes it easier to test internal tools, carrier-specific configurations, or geo-restricted services, all without leaving your protected infrastructure. Your teams stay productive. Your data stays where it’s supposed to.

3. Simulate real networks on real devices

You’re not just testing apps—you’re validating how they behave across networks, devices, and signal conditions that change constantly. TestGrid gives you access to real Android and iOS devices, set up to simulate real telecom environments.

You can test on devices with eSIMs, validate SIM swapping, and run scenarios that involve roaming between networks. You can simulate network conditions like weak signal, dropped calls, latency, congestion, and even interference, all from a controlled environment.

From 2G to 5G, you can test how your systems respond to signal changes, device handoffs, and real-world pressure without relying on physical device labs spread across regions.

Whether you’re working on call quality, mobile app performance, or network authentication, you can recreate the environment your users are actually in and fix problems before they hit production.

4. Automate telecom testing without slowing down

Telco systems are complex. But that doesn’t mean your testing has to be slow. With TestGrid, you can automate end-to-end test flows using your own scripts, run tests locally within your infrastructure, and plug everything into your CI/CD pipelines.

The platform supports direct API integrations and lets you run tests in Turbo Mode for faster execution and feedback.

Whether you’re running unit tests, validating device provisioning, or checking performance after a release, you don’t have to wait for remote queues or flaky environments. You can also schedule tests, trigger them through your existing workflows, and gather results instantly.

5. Cover the edge cases that actually matter

Some issues only show up in the details—how a screen renders under load, how a device responds to a system prompt, or whether a user with accessibility needs can complete a task.

TestGrid gives you the tools to go deeper. You can run visual regression tests to catch layout shifts, broken UI, or display inconsistencies. You can run accessibility checks to make sure your app works for everyone.

And you can simulate actions that matter in telco contexts, like unlocking a device, injecting an image for QR testing, or using MDM controls to manage device behavior. Every test reflects how your system behaves in the real world, not just in ideal lab conditions.

6. Keep teams aligned with the data they need

Testing doesn’t stop at execution. It’s also about visibility. With TestGrid, every run generates real-time reports, historical trend data, and customizable dashboards that help your team track what’s working and what needs attention.

You can plug TestGrid into your CI/CD pipelines using tools like Jenkins, Azure Pipelines, or CircleCI. Results flow directly into platforms your teams already use, from Jira and Azure DevOps to Slack and Teams, so everyone stays informed without switching tools.

Whether you’re debugging a network issue or reviewing a regression, your data is always accessible, always connected, and always useful.

7. Create, debug, and maintain tests faster than CoTester

Telecom test cases can get complex quickly, especially when you’re dealing with multiple network types, device states, and edge conditions. CoTester, TestGrid’s AI agent for software testing, helps you simplify the process.

You can describe a test in plain language, and CoTester turns it into an executable test case. It can help you debug failing flows, suggest improvements, and even auto-heal test steps when something changes in the UI or logic.

This makes it easier to keep up with constant changes across device types, platforms, and services  and gives your team more time to focus on the high-impact work.

Built for Telecom Teams Solving Real-World Problems

When you’re delivering services across networks, countries, and devices, you need more than just test automation.

You need a platform that reflects the complexity of telecom with the flexibility to work in your infrastructure, the depth to test under real-world conditions, and the speed to keep up with every release.

TestGrid brings that together in one platform.

From signal simulation to roaming validation, from device-level control to enterprise-grade automation, you can test with accuracy and move with confidence without having to piece together tools or build your own lab.
