Empirix Inc., the leader in test automation and network and service performance monitoring, assurance and analytics, today announced the availability of new functionality in their Hammer Cloud Platform, making it the industry’s first self-service test automation solution capable of testing and monitoring the performance of the network, infrastructure and applications from a call’s point of origin to its endpoint.

The need for flexible, self-service end-to-end testing has become even more critical as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has, in a matter of months, forced millions of agents and workers worldwide to work remotely. This shift has led to a substantial change in network traffic patterns, creating capacity and reliability issues with firewalls, VPNs, SBCs, and home networks.
