Interoperability test, IOT
Ericsson Developer Program's interoperability test (IOT) supports the establishment of a web-based directory of applications developed by community members. The purpose is to show that applications have undergone preliminary integration with Ericsson equipment.

The IOT is divided into three levels:

Basic level tested application
This level is open to applications from all Ericsson Developer Connection members. The 3rd party application must be tested with the SDS (Ericsson IMS Service Development Studio) installed in an Ericsson lab. The SDS can be  downloaded free of charge. This level of IOT is free of charge.





Committeed level tested aplication
This level is open to applications from all Ericsson Developer Connection members that have successfully completed the basic level. The 3rd party application must be tested with the SDS. The SDS can be downloaded free of charge. The 3PP application shall then perform additional test cases against the Ericssom IMS core.  This level of  IOT is fee-based.





Strategic level tested application
This level is open to selected applications from Ericsson Developer Connection partners that have successfully completed the committed level. The 3rd party application must be tested with the SDS. The SDS can be downloaded free of charge. The 3PP and Ericsson shall jointly develop the test-cases which will include full integration with all required Ericsson equipment. The 3PP will integrate on-site with the Ericsson global IMS expert center in Montreal.  This level of IOT is fee-based.

The service provides access to Ericsson Mobility World’s IMS Expert Center lab in Montreal, Canada, during pre-booked 8-hour timeslots, attributed according to the test plan agreed upon with Ericsson. Please allow one week delay between acceptance of test plan and commencement of IOT.
On-site access is also available during Montreal business hours (9:00 to 17:00, GMT – 5:00), by special request.
