NTAF Webcast in Partnership with Test & Measurement World
Introducing the next generation of test automation & interoperability – the NTAF Specification
Click here to Listen to the Webcast
Overview:
As networks become more complex, testing of network equipment requires multiple tools. Automation is frequently employed as a strategy to orchestrate the diverse test environment, but to date there have been no standards for tools to work together in a coordinated solution. The Network Test Automation Forum addresses this precise need by defining a specification for how test tools communicate. This webinar introduces NTAF, explains the newly ratified specification, and walks through a use case.
By attending this webinar you will learn:
- The purpose & mission of the Network Test Automation Forum
- Outline of the NTAF specification
- How the NTAF spec can be used in a practical application
