Testing
Media Services Proxy Testing
Interoperability Verification Testing
(IVT) offered under the program is designed to allow developers to demonstrate the interoperability of their products (application software and/or hardware) with Cisco technologies. View this diagram to understand the IVT process.
IVT varies by technology. To learn more about IVT for a particular technology, please refer to the respective Developer Center.
Program
Media Services Proxy (MSP) IVT program is a key requirement for being recognized as a "Solution Developer" partner and to be eligible for go-to-market activities.
The main objectives of the IVT include verifying that:
- Vendor endpoint can be recognized by MSP
- Vendor endpoint information can be extracted by MSP
- Vendor endpoint can instantiate the list of network based services provided by Cisco Medianet (through configuration on Cisco devices)
- Vendor equipment works in a consistent way across all Cisco listed devices (multiple platforms)
- Vendor device and flow data gathered by Cisco devices are represented in a consistent format and exported to management stations using standard mechanisms
Please refer to the Media Services Proxy IVT Guidelines for a description of the use cases and a listing of the test cases for each feature.
