12. FAST Key Benefits
• 80% reduction in test times
compared to manual test execution
• Increased Efficiency
Developers can concentrate on problem solving activities rather
than test execution and documentation
• Improved Product Quality
More units tested and more tests executed.
More time to find and resolve issues during the design phase
• Automatic Results Documentation
High quality results documents automatically generated

13. Manual v FAST test times
Example: Measured times for a 3G basestation (NodeB)
Project 3G NodeB Manual FAST
Compliance Test
[TS.25.141] 40 days 4 days
(over temperature and voltage)
Note: Manual times shown do not include time for documenting results.
FAST automatically produces a set of formatted results.
