ITEXPO Session Preview: Why Testing is Vital for IMS Networks
By Mae Kowalke, TMCnet Associate Editor
One of the appeals of IP  Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) technology is that it provides a standardized environment. This simplifies the process of managing next-generation networks. But, the standardize nature of IMS does not eliminate the need to test network performance. It is easy for service providers to fall into the trap of thinking that adopting IMS means testing can be disposed with.
During this session, you’ll learn why using a standardized IMS environment actually increases the need for testing. The presenters—Keith Cobler, marketing manager for Tektronix’s network management division, and representatives from IMS Forum ( News - Alert), Agilent and IXIA—will explain that the multi-vendor environment IMS enables, and the types of services it can deliver, make testing very important.
Interoperability testing for IMS networks is, in fact, vital to ensure both successful deployment and network support. Also, without testing it is impossible to ensure the quality of experience end-users expect. Attend the session, scheduled for Wednesday, September 12, 2007, from 2:45 to 3:30 p.m., to learn more.
