ProLab H.323 Test Solution

With the ProLab H.323 Testing solution, entire network systems can be emulated and tested prior to deployment and end user service problems can be evaluated. These include advanced test call emulation, gatekeeper simulation, media analysis, voice and video quality, such as analyzing packet or frame loss, delay, and jitter checking. In addition, the ProLab Testing Suite simulates different network topologies and validates performance of H.323 networks and media quality.

The ProLab H.323 Testing Solution is used to test:

H.323 Core Network
Network equipment vendors
Service providers
MCUs
Gateways
Softswitches
IADs and IP Phones
VoIP-enabled chipsets
Room systems
IP-PBXs
Session Border Controllers (SBCs)

ProLab H.323 Suite Highlights

Feature rich
feature-rich testing and validation solution, capable of simulating multiple calls, including the latest standard simulation (multiplex, progressing,)
Detailed statistics
including call setup time, calls per second, successful calls, failed calls, number of channel failures, etc.
Media Testing
equipped with hundreds of pre-recorded media streams from different endpoints, with the capability to analyze the voice and video quality and to playback video streams

The ProLab Testing Suite encompasses a wide range of testing tools for several environments and include the following add-ons:

Terminal simulation
The ProLab Testing Suite performs advanced simulation by generating signaling and media. By generating calls, the ProLab Testing Suite performs a variety of tests, including protocol and stress tests.
Gatekeeper simulation
Provides a full gatekeeper application with the possibility to simulate atypical responses according to the standard.
Analysis & Report
The ProLab Test Result Analysis solution offers an intuitive tool to automate testing and results analysis. The solution delivers flexible report generation tools that can be customized to specific requirements.
Voice Quality
ProLab is equipped with both MOS and PESQ (Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality) voice quality tools.
Video Quality
The Video Quality measurement uses different video metrics. It intrusively analyzes received video streams and perceptually scores relevant degradations on a 5-point MOS scale. Additional key performance indicators (KPIs) are output to allow experts to make a more detailed analysis.
Automation
ProLab supports automated testing for both large-scale operations and small to medium-sizes needs. The XML/SOAP interface for controlling the ProLab and intuitive Test Scheduler offer a sophisticated scheduling system for comprehensive automated test procedures.
