Lmao - that is pretty freaking awesome, thanks for sharing!<div><br></div><div>This certainly takes automated unit testing to a whole new level, and would be great for blackbox tests on real phones - it would be interesting to see this approach on multiple different phone models as well.</div>

I took a different approach and took advantage of a rack of Polycom<br>
phones and a bit of electronic tinkering.<br>

<br>
I took the Polycom 550s and, using the built-in XML Command Push and the<br>
state polling features, plus some perl automation, I was able to<br>
automate a large batch of call scenarios. Then when I found that SLA and<br>
BLF lights weren't available, I assimilated the phones borg style.<br>
<br>
In the album, I'm using an Arduino board, a muxer(to talk to multiple<br>
chips easily), and a set of light sensors(color, and intensity) to now<br>
detect presence issues in FreeSWITCH.<br>
