The importance of Field Testing and GCF Field Tests Certification are getting higher as many mobile operators as rolling out their 5G networks in Europe, requiring Non-Standalone (NSA) and Standalone (SA) tests. Besides 5G, IMS tests are also especially important to perform to check the right Carrier Customization requirements, as toggles on/off, icons for every service, menus, and features for IMS, require different test scenarios to ensure a proper carrier customization, carrier approval and a good user experience.
VoLTE (Voice-Over-LTE) and VoWiFi (Voice-Over-Wi-Fi), requires customization tests, static and mobility tests to ensure that end user experience is good, and the carrier will be serving their client with no technical issues from product side.
