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

Terminal Simulation
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.

IMS Server Simulation
Provides the ability to act as a IMS Server, in order to simulate different network topologies and to simulate different entities on a VoIP network. Servers that can be simulated include: P-CSCF, I-CSCF and S-CSCF.

Analysis & Report
The ProLab Test Results 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. Using XML/SOAP interface for controlling the ProLab and intuitive Test Scheduler offers a sophisticated scheduling system for comprehensive automated test procedures.
