About
Sipfront is a performance and regression testing service to validate the signaling, media and security capabilities of your Telco system.
By launching single call scenarios or a massive load of signaling and voice or video traffic, you can find, prevent and fix regressions and measure the performance limits and bandwith requirements of your PBX and Softswitches deployed in VoLTE, IMS and NGN networks.
Sipfront gives you real-time and historic reports of your test sessions and provides you with APIs to integrate your testing cycles into your Continuos Integration systems or delivery and deployment workflows.

Features
Your Agile Workflows on Steroids
Continuous Integration and Deployment within a modern organisation's development cycle requires simple to integrate and rapidly executing tests.
Adding features to your products and services must go hand in hand with testing the overall system, to ensure meeting the acceptance criterias of your features and to avoid introducing regressions.
However, you do not want your developers to spend 90% of their feature development time to write tests, nor do you want them to wait for hours to receive test results for their changes.
Sipfront provides you with simple APIs and quick results, optimized for integration into existing CI/CD systems by your DevOps team.
Observability and Troubleshooting
When tests fail in unpredictable ways, it can get very difficult to reproduce these failures.
In such scenarios, it helps tremendously to have an end-to-end view of the full call flows, their timings and the bits and bytes composing the messages of these calls.
Sipfront supports your troubleshooting workflows by providing a native integration of Hepic, one of the most powerful Telco call monitoring solutions on the market.
With hepic.View embedded in the Sipfront web interface, you can inspect calls on the fly and export them as PCAP or text files for offline analysis.
Global and On-Premise Traffic Generation
The testing workflow starts in your development environment, which is usually not exposed to the public internet. Neither is system-critical communication infrastructure in staging and production environments on roll-out.
Sipfront provides pre-defined Traffic Generation Pools across the globe for publicly exposed systems under test, and lets you define and run your own pools on your own infrastructure via Docker images.
You control your tests via the Sipfront Cloud, while the traffic is generated and stays within your own premises. This ensures confined and defined test conditions and maximizes the security and privacy of your environment.
Accurate Alerting on Test Conditions
When running long-duration tests, it is crucial to receive timely feedback if certain test conditions are triggered or thresholds are reached, in order to abort test runs and provide a test status.
By setting upper and lower bounds on MOS scores, SIP retransmissions or packet loss, as well as triggers on unexpected SIP requests or responses and call states, Sipfront informs you about the state of your tests.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got a question? We've got answers. If you have more questions, don't hesitate to send us an email.
How does Sipfront work?
Sipfront is a Telco testing service for establishing SIP call scenarios towards your VoIP systems. We built a powerful cloud infrastructure allowing you to launch thousands of SIP requests per second and hundreds of thousands of simultaneous calls. Sipfront is compatible to the widely adopted sipp test tool, and you can in fact import your custom sipp scenario files. Sipfront however abstracts the overall complexity of sipp, the segmentation and scaling of multiple instances, its command line arguments and its metrics reporting, and presents you a real-time web interface to manage your test sessions.
How can I first test Sipfront?
The ideal plan for testing our service is the Flex plan. You get 30 free performance test minutes per month for the duration of 3 months. After the trial period ends, you pay for what you use. Flex is providing you the following features:
- 5 days of log and report retention to troubleshoot issues.
- Access to a comprehensive set of pre-defined call scenarios.
- Real-time statistics of your signaling performance.
How is my account billed?
On signup, you will only be billed for the prorated amount of your selected plan for the current month. After that, your monthly plan cost and any extra calls you used will be billed at the start of each month for the previous month. When you cancel your account, the remaining balance will be charged before the account is closed.
Why can I only send RTP traffic in the Pro/Enterprise plan?
RTP streams are generating a lot of network traffic and require heavy processing power. Therefore, media handling is only provided in the high tier plans.
How is my telco system protected from being DoS'ed by Sipfront?
Each new SIP domain and outbound proxy must be validated via a verification account or a DNS TXT record prior to be able to launch a test against it, for us to validate the system is under your control.
How can I upgrade my account?
You can switch to a different plan at any time in your account settings.
