STOCKHOLM -- In response to demand for SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) device interoperability, the SIP Forum (www.sipforum.org) announces completion and release of its first SIP test suite, called the SIP Forum Test Framework.

This SIP Forum Test Framework (SFTF) v1.0, is being released as open source. In order to obtain future open-source community support for this project for the future, the SIP Forum has elected to host the project at SIPfoundry.org's Web site. (www.sipfoundry.org).

Needs identified by SIP Forum members drove the creation of an open test framework allowing SIP device vendors to test for common protocol errors. This improves the interoperability of between SIP the devices available in the marketplace -- an immediate benefit to customers. The SFTF currently provides a core suite of tests for SIP devices, and the framework is built to allow new tests to be added quickly. With industry participation, this open-source project will grow to include all SIP elements, such as gateways, media servers and session border controllers.

"The SIP Forum is excited about leveraging the SIPfoundry community to help this test framework provide significant benefits to the SIPit and SIMPLEt events," said Jay Batson, chairman of the SIP Forum board of directors. "Our experience at past events has shown that participating teams often waste valuable event time handling typical, yet unexpected, implementation errors.
