IMS is the IP core network technology for the near future. Designed to deliver voice, data and video services, this core technology connects users via wireless and wireline access networks. IMS uses SIP to control calls and sessions.

Interoperability between network elements from different vendors’ and User Equipment and network devices is a significant issue with SIP. This protocol is defined in a number of RFC’s. It has therefore become valuable to test the conformance of any SIP device with the defined protocol. This then ensures a high probability that interoperability will be achieved when moving equipment out of the lab and into operational networks.

TTworkbench

Teraquant solutions for IMS generation networks include laboratory-based test automation, with ready-made test scripts and suites using TTworkbench from Testing Technologies GmbH. TTworkbench is the full-featured, integrated test- development and execution environment for any kind of test automation project.

This technology-independent tool can be deployed for testing products and services in a wide range of different industry sectors. TTworkbench comes in three different formats:

• TTworkbench Express
  Executes test specifications.
• TTworkbench Basic
  Allows maintenance and modification of test suites.
• TTworkbench Professional
  Allows the construction of complex test environments.

This test platform also allows you to modify these test cases and scripts to your own objectives, to graphically troubleshoot the behavior of the SUT, and to report on the overall test run.

TTworkbench offers user-friendly handling:

• Easy graphical specification of test cases.
• Full test execution control, at the test-case and test-suite levels.
• Clear visualization of complex test scenarios.
• Clearly structured documentation.

TTworkbench test suites include:
