A huge list of vendors today announced a partnership to collaborate on an open, multi-vendor solution for test automation, called TesLA. It seems to be led by IXIA, but there are some other big names along with them:
It sounds too good to be true - a single framework for managing all of these types of devices from all of these vendors. I hope others will join as well so that we're not stuck with just one choice for some of these areas...
I think this is a great idea, and I look forward to seeing the results of this sort of collaboration - I'm actually quite surprised that some of these folks are working together, since they have competing (somewhat) products.
I am sure a solution like this won't work for everyone, and I am hoping folks in the alliance will consider the highly customizable nature of this sort of testing, and make sure their solutions keep that aspect in mind - many of us have needs to use our own external <insert whatever it is here> and will need a lot of flexibility in customizing any centralized tool to manage things.
