You emulate a real agent with some other software, so that you can have automated test cases.

If your team can't validate a simple script to hook into net-snmp's 'pass' or 'exec' features, to use as an "agent emulator" for test cases, I don't think I want your element manager.

Most testers I've met working on SNMP-related projects wouldn't have a clue about what you've said. That's why testing needs qualified people.
