GL's Message Automation & Protocol Simulation (MAPS) is a protocol simulation and conformance test tool that can be applied to a variety of protocols such as MGCP, SIP, MEGACO, SS7 and ISDN. This message automation tool covers solutions for both protocol simulation and protocol analysis. The application includes various test plans and test cases to support the testing of a required real-time scenario. Along with automation capability, the application gives users the unlimited ability to edit messages and control scenarios (message sequences).

Capabilities

Scripted protocol simulation and protocol analysis.

Tests Performed

Typical test scenarios such as fault insertion, and erroneous call flows can be scripted.  MAPS Addresses all stages of the development cycle from conformance testing, regression testing through to type approval, acceptance testing.

Complete analysis and simulation.Provides fault insertion and erroneous call flows testing capability.     

Functional testing, Regression testing and Conformance testing of network elements.

Prepared scripts make the testing procedure simpler, less time consuming and hence reduce time to market.

Summary

GL's Message Automation & Protocol Simulation (MAPS) is a powerful and cost effective protocol simulation and conformance test tool to assess implementation of protocols on network elements.  It is suitable for manufacturers, network operators and service providers addressing all stages of the development cycle from regression testing through to type approval, acceptance testing.
