This presentation discusses the need for test environments that more closely mimic real-world conditions. It provides examples of companies that conducted lab-based testing but still experienced issues when deploying networks or applications in the real world. The presentation argues that to fully ensure quality, testing must be done at maximum expected loads and with maximum visibility into the full system. The future of testing is described as making the lab environment mimic the actual network as closely as possible.
