IPTV Testing Process More Than Meets the Eye

If you think deploying IPTV ends with the purchase of all the software and hardware components that make up the long, complex and tightly interrelated delivery and support ecosystem, think again.

Telco TV deployers have taken rigorous pre-testing measures in laboratories, and with employees as guinea pigs, to ensure their video service and enhancements don’t collapse the fragile IPTV foundation that has been prone to failures.

Just as R&D employees in most any industry wouldn’t let anything out of the lab until it has been thoroughly tested to work as anticipated, telco management has, and continues to take, the same approach with TV services.

Billing & OSS World gives examples.
