WOBURN, MA, Mar 3, 2008 - Valid8.com’s new Replicator record and playback (R&P) tool offers a rapid test generation solution for telecom service providers, equipment manufacturers, and enterprises. Replicator generates test scenarios, which can be used for regression testing, resolving customer reported problems or rapid-prototyping. The scenarios are generated based upon a network trace, either an existing trace or one captured live by the Replicator software. The ability to generate different test scenarios automatically can save companies significant time and resources.

“Our Replicator test solution for SIP is a very inexpensive alternative to creating test scenarios from scratch, which can be tedious and time-consuming,” says Ian Carpenter, Valid8.com president and CEO. “This tool allows you to ‘clone’ a scenario in-house very quickly and easily.”

Feedback from users has been very positive, who find the Replicator to be a highly effective tool in helping them resolve customer-reported protocol problems. The Replicator can be used to create a specific event that behaves exactly as the customer equipment. “Our clients, who face critical field issues, can’t afford to waste precious time setting up an environment to reproduce a customer problem,” says Norman Kahn, director of support engineering. “Our tool enables software engineers, technicians and support engineers to greatly simplify the setup and focus on the issue at hand, resolving field problems and ultimately increasing customer satisfaction and saving money.”

The Replicator test solution is an easy, cost effective add-on to Valid8.com’s existing testing platform, and works in conjunction with Valid8.com’s simulation and conformance testing solution. Future capabilities will include support for SCTP, Megaco and H.323 protocols.
