Ximpo Group deploys Next Generation of
Interop Test Tracking solution to IMTC

Modiin, ISRAEL -- February 5, 2003 --
Ximpo Group, Ltd., the premier provider of conformance and interop test tracking solutions, announced today that IMTC PSS has chosen to renew the IOTzilla service for year 2003.

"Our thorough testing procedures had already caught the attention of the industry's key players," said Amir Wolf, Chairman of the IMTC's PSS Activity Group. "but it's IOTzilla that allowed us to scale, and keep our competitive edge without compromising on test quality."

IOTzilla is Ximpo's unique system specially designed for planning and tracking of conformance and interop testing results. Its value has been appraised not only by group coordinators, but also by testing vendors.
"To engage in systematic interop testing with 14 vendors would have been a nightmare without the tracking features of IOTzilla, furthermore it allowed us to get status reports at a glance, keep histories of all issues and test points and simplified the reporting process." said Yanda Ma, an Interoperability Expert from Hutchison-Mediator. "IOTzilla was critical in allowing us to manage the existing testing and to scale and grow the interoperability group."

IOTzilla helped during the last cycle the PSS-AG perform a total of 10,783 discrete tests, with an impressive 96% success rate; Unprecedented figures for a multi-vendor interoperability test of a young, leading-edge technology.
The PSS-AG managers expect the current test cycle to advance at a rate similar to the previous test cycle, while accepting new joining vendors.

The New Generation of IOTzilla provides significant improvements over previous ones, like 'Progressive testing' (the ability to retest just the components affected by a vendor's change), a new simplified user interface, greatly improved performance, and many new queries and reports.

"IOTzilla 'NG' represents a significant leap in conformance and interop test tracking," said Pablo 'merKur' Kohan, CTO of Ximpo Group. "we are determined in making the best test tracking system even better."
