Juniper TaaS Workflow

For the physical CCL, a complete end-to-end solution validation cycle is offered,
from gathering the full requirements and creating an exact clone of your network
to driving the targeted software and hardware selection with an automated,
reproducible, and scalable testing environment.

Juniper’s Test Automation Framework, integrated in TaaS, is purpose-built to

improve testing speed and efficacy to accelerate the product validation process.
With access to market-proven testing practices and technologies, as well as
technical expertise, TaaS provides high-quality outcomes for our customers,
delivering a suite of testing services that address a wide range of customer
