Abstract :
Service-creation environments (SCEs) for intelligent networks, the next frontier in telecommunications, are discussed. It is stated that as SCEs become part of network structures, the use of real-time software validation to supplement or eventually supersede regression testing must be implemented. Three elements in the Exploratory Intelligent Network project that may satisfy these requirements are discussed: finite-state tests, call-model standards, and fast real-time processors.<>
