• SIP Test Tools
By Chris Bajorek |
Editor’s Note: Developing and deploying SIP applications and services demands superlative testing tools for proof-of-concept, load, security and interoperability testing. Professional testing labs are obviously treasure troves of such technology, so we decided to take a peek into one of the best known of such labs, CT Labs of Rocklin, California, an independent operating unit of Empirix, headed by long-time testing guru Chris Bajorek. In this article, Bajorek takes us on a guided tour of his tool collection. |
