What Is It?
The Fortissimo is a SIP network load generator that simulates SIP
subscribers placing calls into
the network. The unit gives the user
flexibility to serve a wide range of applications associated
with
switch and network testing. Ideally suited to allow the user to
develop a test environment
with the ability to test highly complex
call scenarios and interactive applications under high call
loads on
hundreds of lines simultaneously in a dedicated lab environment
What Does It Do?
The Ameritec Fortissimo has the ability to simulate high volumes of
SIP subscriber calls. This
high volume of bulk call generation can be
combined with complex call testing capability.
Through the use of user
defined call scripts and line protocols, users can tailor test
scenarios to
meet a wide range of testing requirements. Each unit
supports 192 SIP subscribers being
simulated
with full bearer
path testing along with the ability to support registration,
authentication,
G.711/G.729 encoding and proxy servers via software
selectable parameters.
How Does It Work?
The actions of each simulated subscriber are independently controlled
through unique parameter
fields defined in user programmed Call
Scripts. Call Scripts include capabilities for testing
signaling,
dialing, Voice over Packet, QoS (GMOS, G-PSQM, G-PESQ R-Factor,) digit
decoding,
tone sending, path verification, and tone receive. The
Scripts define calling patterns and can
simulate practically any
action a live caller can perform. Scripts can also simulate multiple
subscribers allowing testing of multiple-party calls such as
conference calling.
The Ameritec Conductor GUI, a Windows® based Graphical User Interface,
allows the user to
create test systems. The user is now able to create
a battery of tests, create traffic profiles, load
test cases, view
test results and create reports.
With the addition of the Ameritec XpresScript the user is able to
develop sophisticated test
scripts by simply drawing the test
sequence. Call Scripts are easily developed by dragging,
dropping and
interconnecting icons to create a graphical Call Flow Diagram. This
Call Flow
Diagram can easily be loaded into the Fortissimo using the
Conductor.
What Can It Test?
Applications that previously were too costly to test automatically can
now be easily automated
with the Fortissmo.
