Complexity in enterprise expense streams is growing exponentially every year and much of it has to do with telecom, mobile, and cloud.

On the fixed side, going to multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) and software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) is a major transition. Applications have moved from on-prem to the cloud and workers have moved to a hybrid model, which increases the amount of broadband and mobile being consumed. The technology needs to be managed, processed, and controlled by teams with specialized skills – which adds still more costs.

Early cloud deployments were akin to hosted services where a business would “lift and shift” a workload to an offsite location. For the past decade or so, cloud has been defined by public clouds, where businesses would deploy data and/or workloads in a hyper-scaler such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.

It’s only recently that digital twin technology has been implemented in software testing – and it’s offering some significant advantages.

The simplest definition of a digital twin is a virtual representation of an object or a system that uses real world data to create simulations, typically with the help of artificial intelligence and machine learning.
