1. Testing and Asterisk SCF  Testing is an integral part of the development methodology and the process  Builds and running of tests are part of an automated process  boost::test test framework  Different levels of testing – unit – component – system

2. Testing and Asterisk SCF – Part of the Process  Each component is expected to have a test suite – IceBoxTest base class to take care of boilerplate for writing your tests  The same tests are run automatically as part of the automated build/test process are easily run by individual developers  Test-ability is a design consideration  Tests are included in code reviews

3. Testing and Asterisk SCF – Test Types  Unit tests are typically hosted in standalone executables and focus on small sections of high risk or fundamental code  Component tests load the component using a real- world configuration along with other supporting components and usually contain: – functional tests – unit tests where mock objects would be required by are impractical – not-quite-functional-or-unit tests which are focused and produce contrived, artificial solutions  Some components are impractical to test with unit and even component tests (e.g. SIP). This component is most vigorously tested at the system level

4. Testing and Asterisk SCF – Higher Level Testing  Useful automated testing of a distributed, interactive, concurrent system != trivial  Enter the Asterisk SCF System Testing Framework – Heavy lifting for performance and stress testing as well as full system functional testing – Facilitating analysis is a primary design goal – Automatically generates detailed test specifications including commands and configuration – Implemented in Python and coordinates tests across multiple platforms – Can be run standalone in your own development environment

5. Testing and Asterisk SCF – More About Plugins  Plugin API with plugins implemented for: – configuration – component life-cycle control – fail-over simulation – external device simulation (SIP) – remote control – system and post-mortem analysis  Plugin spotlight! – PROTOs – independently developed INVITE focused torture test – SIPp – automated, configuration of call scenarios – Wireshark – on the wire logging of SIP, RTP, T38, etc. and generation of call graphs

6. Testing and Asterisk SCF – Output Examples  insert SIP call graph  screen shot of build/run artifact or something similar.. has to be cool
