What is StormTest

Accenture StormTest is a video service test automation platform. It addresses the complexity inherent in modern video software delivery, by enabling test to scale intelligently, simultaneously supporting the validation of multiple builds and releases across platforms. StormTest is part of Accenture Digital Video's portfolio of open, scaleable platforms.

Accenture Digital Video worked closely with RDK Management LLC to establish a Code Management Facility capable of securing, coordinating and managing the official code base. The use of the elastic compute capacity of the cloud was an important component enabling the RDK codebase to be compiled cost-effectively.
