I'm sure it is, in a lab under controlled conditions Not exactly, depends on what kind of testing you are running. You can have system testing, including functional testing and adversial testing and load testing. You can also have friendly user testing and hostle user testing. You can also do sort of load testing there. In some test cases, the running condition such as the radio environment, degree of load are exceeding the real world situation. In case of user testing. It is just like the real world operation, you give the handsets to a bunch of users and ask them to use it anyway, anytime they want. There's no lab control on that. You always try to break and load the system because the testers are using the free stuffs more than the real users do. When the real networks are in operation. You may have different problems, some worse, some better than the test result. And that may also have a lot of to do with the networks planning etc etc. So the question is from which kind of test statistic are those numbers coming from.
