In Europe there are a few sites where potential ATM users can test equipment for conformance
to specifications, signaling, and interoperability. Projects have to be approved by a panel of members from a research organization, the European Commission, or an outside agency. Some costs may be involved, too, although prices will be low compared to what you would pay to use a private laboratory.
The UK Education and Research Networking Association (UKERNA)
site (Didcot, U.K), has a 34-Mbps set-up, with links to other ATM test-beds available.

(Kista, Sweden) offers testing at 155 and 622 Mbps.

My approach to software engineering is far more pragmatic than it
is
theoretical--and no language better exemplifies this than C++.
