AGNITY Releases SIPr 2.0 Application Testing Platform Including New Features, Testing Tools to Support the IMS Next-Generation Network

SIPr 2.0 Provides for the Simulation of Any Hardware, Software Environment
Reducing the Average Testing Cycle by 75%
SILICON VALLEY, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
AGNITY, a leading provider of application solutions and services to mobile and
fixed line service providers and enterprises, announced today a major upgrade
and enhancement with the release of SIPr 2.0 open-source and professional
services editions, an application testing platform for the creation and quality
assurance of voice, data, mobile and converged applications.

SIPr 2.0 (pronounced Sipper) is a comprehensive toolkit for converged SIP and
HTTP testing with a robust media implementation. Version 2.0 completes the
offering in the converged IMS space and provides the users complete flexibility
and control. SIPr 2.0 users will find that they will not need to leave the test
bench to perform any kind of application simulation or testing, thereby saving
time and money in the development and quality assurance process.

In trials and actual testing, SIPr 2.0 has been shown to reduce test cycle times
by an average of 75%. SIPr is fully-configurable at each layer of the protocol
stack enabling developers to write and verify complex test cases in minutes.
Tests are created in an iterative fashion allowing for automation and
incremental testing.

The new features and benefits to SIPr version 2.0 include:

* IMS/ISC compliance
* Digest Server authentication support
* Presence event and registration event support
* TCP Transport support
* NAT traversal
* Simplified gem installation
* Ability to run any test under any load
* Simplified media APIs
* Integrated Webserver for converged SIP and HTTP Server tests

Said AGNITY vice president of engineering Nasir Khan, "SIPr 2.0 is the most
complete open source testing platform available to developers supporting
end-to-end testing from the network layer to the application layer offering
complete SIP/ISC support and several additional RFCs required for IMS. Not only
does it offer a complete toolkit to create user agents but is the only tool in
market that can be used to simulate any IMS entity in the network."

Testing an application and its behavior on specific vendor equipment can lead to
anomalies and delays if the application does not behave as anticipated. With
SIPr 2.0, the development team can quickly simulate hardware equipment behavior
or act like a B2BUA and modify the SIP message to unblock the testing. This is a
great time saver and gives the development team time to work on addressing
non-compliant behavior in parallel.

SIPr Test Frameworks (STFs) include best-of-breed tools and technologies from
both AGNITY and the open source community. In its next release of SIPr, AGNITY
plans to include the Diameter interface and other enhancements aimed at
delivering the most comprehensive test environment for IMS and converged
applications.
