Desarrollo de una herramienta de software para la optimización del proceso de documentación en el reapuntamiento de interfaces en redes de telecomunicaciones

Abstract

Problem: In telecommunications network operations, interface repointing processes require manual documentation based on large volumes of configuration data, which increases execution time, human error probability, and the need for rework. Objective: To develop a software tool aimed at optimizing the documentation process associated with interface repointing through the automation of configuration file analysis and processing. Method: The project was developed using a practical and applied approach, employing the Python programming language along with several libraries focused on data processing, file handling, and graphical user interfaces. The tool was designed to receive configuration files in text format, apply user-defined filters and replacements, and generate structured documentation as output. Results: The developed solution demonstrated a significant reduction in documentation time, decreasing from approximately 40 minutes in the manual process to 8 minutes in the automated process for an equivalent volume of data. Additionally, the probability of errors was reduced from 35% to 5%, and reprocessing tasks were minimized. Discussion: The results show that automating the documentation process improves operational efficiency and enhances the reliability of technical documentation, providing a scalable and adaptable solution for telecommunications network environments handling large volumes of information.
