DUBLIN, IRELAND — (Marketwire) — 02/20/12 — , a global enabler of the highest quality digital TV content delivery platforms, today announced that , Switzerland-s largest telecommunications provider, has chosen StormTest Development Center to ensure the accurate and speedy software testing on IPTV Set-Top Boxes (STBs).
