Mirifice helps Broadcast and Telecommunications Companies deliver their products and services on–time and to budget. Testing is critical to this process and to ensuring product quality. Key elements for successful testing are:
• Planning an effective testing strategy
• Finding the right people to successfully execute the testing
• Selecting the right tools and systems to improve product quality and testing efficiency
Mirifice provides skilled staff, consultancy expertise and test systems to address these areas.
Mirifice Test Strategy Management
Mirifice consultants have expertise in the development, testing and deployment of new consumer devices and new end-to-end network services. A clear understanding of the development lifecycle, domain technologies, test processes and testing tools is required to optimise a test strategy and manage complex testing activities.

Mirifice Testing Services
Mirifice engineers have the skills and experience to ensure that testing programmes are executed to schedule and that the project development team is provided with accurate bug information, allowing fault analysis or fault re–creation.

Mirifice can provide test automation and productivity solutions based on our MiriATE and MiriMON products:
MiriATE® Test Automation
MiriATE test automation dramatically reduces manual testing activities and allows multiple STBs (Set-top Boxes) to be tested in parallel, 24 hours a day. MiriATE is able to automatically interpret the devices’ video and audio output, while controlling inputs and the device environment. So MiriATE performs and observes tests in the same way as a human - but faster, more reliably, consistently and without getting bored or tired. More information on MiriATE is available here.
MiriMON® for Testing
Our MiriMON product is primarily used for monitoring ‘live’ delivery of broadcast or multi–media services via a software agent on the consumer device. MiriMON can also be used to measure events and states within a device during manual or automated testing, providing a ‘white box’ view. MiriMON can provide this insight during development and integration testing, acceptance testing and field trials. More information is available on MiriMON here.
