Their testing is done from the perspective of the ES, not the IS.
I don't know of any fully accepted IS-IS testers; an issue here would
be whether the IS-IS superset that include Internet support is relevant.

   I worked with the TP4 test system developed by National Computing
Centre in the UK, and distributed in the US by the Corporation for Open
Systems.  I believe alternative systems are available from TITN/Alcatel,
GSI Danet, and possibly IDACOM (now a Hewlett-Packard division) and possibly
Retix.  It also may be worth checking with Tekelec.

COS distributes an FTAM tester---I don't know if it still is the
same one we developed in house; I think maintenance may have gone
to NCC.  Check with Dick Hampton at COS in Falls Church, VA. (might
be Fairfax VA).
   Session, ACSE, and Presentation are usually not tested directly,
but as entities embedded under a protocol such as FTAM or MHS.  
Considering that many application service primitives directly map
to session or presentation, this is not an overwhelming problem.
