Testing for rating and charging
In rating and charging, you need to collect charging data for use case-specific validation. QiTASC provides comprehensive automated testing for all billable telecommunications scenarios with complete end-to-end verification of charging data records (CDRs).
How QiTASC tests rating
Our test automation platform intaQt® runs real-world communication scenarios and collects charging data for precise validation.
We control mobile devices, VoIP systems, emulate POTS/ISDN, and use virtual SIP phones to simulate any scenario across all networks. Testing covers billing across 2G–5G and WiFi for voice, data, SMS, and value-added services. Automated execution across all channels ensures accurate charging, revenue protection, and reliable billing for telecom and IoT providers.
List of rating and charging use cases:
SMS & MMS billing
Voice calls, VoLTE, international, roaming
Legacy (POTS, ISDN) and VoIP/SIP scenarios, including protocol variations
Edge voice cases: partial sessions, failed connections, dropped calls
Mobile data billing (2G–5G, WiFi, fixed broadband)
Roaming and IoT device data usage
Edge data cases: poor connectivity, handovers, partial sessions
USSD: Banking, mobile money, interactive menus
VAS: Premium content, subscriptions, and location-based offerings
Automated CDR collection & analysis with real-time validation
Tariff verification: actual vs. expected charges, revenue leakage detection
Time-based charging: time zones, peak/off-peak, promotions
Dedicated infrastructure: mobile devices, VoIP, SIP phones, POTS/ISDN emulation
Benefits – Efficient and reliable!
Zero-touch, low-maintenance automation:
Once set up, tests run without manual handling of devices, SIM cards, or other components. Built-in abstraction layers ensure updates don’t break existing scripts.
Accelerated projects & faster defect resolution:
Automation cuts execution time by up to 50% and speeds up issue fixing by automatically collecting, linking, and validating all process data.
Remote testing capabilities:
Control lab devices and tools from home with remote access, audio, and manual interaction support.
Easy test case development:
Our English-based automation language is learnable in 2–3 days, making test scripts a clear and shared communication tool.
Smart scheduling:
Test cases automatically align with available resources, covering the entire process from provisioning services and devices to automated execution, verification, and reporting.
One framework for lab and live:
The same automation system supports factory acceptance, lab integration, field acceptance, and live monitoring.
Deep, verified quality:
Automatically validate protocols, logic, headers, and data correlations. Continuous TIOBE-based checks ensure clean, reliable code.
Proven in complex environments:
Refined to handle the most demanding projects and systems without compromise.
