Hello all,
After nearly a year of active development on building our own voice platform, we've adopted some cool tricks to speed up the workflow and make testing less tedious.
Over the next few months I'll be posting more articles on the tricks we have used and the lessons we have learnt.
Here is part 1 - a write up about a neat hack we used to virtualize phone testing;
For those that don't have time to read, here is a screenshot;
This trick, which we've used in development for approx 6 months, has saved countless hours in development overheads, with one-click start/stop functionality and all the necessary modules right there in one place.
Of course, this should never be used as a full replacement as nothing beats a proper hardware test to catch those weird edge cases, but it does allow you to do the majority of your testing (95%) from a single screen rather than a desk full of phones. It also makes attaching wireshark a lot easier, without having to use span ports and the alike.
Hope this helps someone else!
Cal
