iTest® Recognized for Outstanding Innovation

MOUNTAIN VIEW, California - February 2, 2009 - Fanfare, delivering innovative testing solutions to service providers (SPs), network equipment manufacturers (NEMs), and enterprises, announced today that Technology Marketing Corporation's (TMC®) INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine has named iTest, the company's flagship test automation product, as a recipient of its 2008 Product of the Year Award.

iTest 3.3 is a comprehensive testing solution for heterogeneous system and device testing. It builds on the capabilities of earlier versions to integrate test assets and automate complex system testing using hardware and software from a variety of different vendors. iTest 3.3 also enables broader use across the quality chain, from the development stage through to customer testing sites. The result is a strong test automation platform for sharing test assets that reduces product release cycles while enhancing the overall quality of product being released to the marketplace.

"Fanfare is thrilled to be recognized as a leader in test solutions for the communications industry", said David Gehringer, vice president of marketing for Fanfare. "This award is validation of our evolving industry, and of the important role that testing plays in the product and service development cycle."
