[Freeswitch-users] How to test Freeswitch before moving to production?

Wed Jan 23 16:52:32 MSK 2013

That is exactly what sipp does but setting up the scenarios requires some knowledge but basically it will assemble the packets as you want on scenarios and send them out to FreeSWITCH. If it fails to receive an expected response, it will complain. 

In my opinion, testing things with real devices is not feasible, specially if you are looking for automated testing that can be executes frequently. We are working on a simple idea that can grow to something bigger. Lets see how it goes.
