Abstract
Provided is a method and system for managing audio portions of test cases with the respective test case so that the tester (client) has access to the audio portion of test cases. Providing this functionality is particularly novel in that audio is captured within a heterogeneous client/server test environment wherein a single tester from a single client interface can test on any of a variety of test platforms. This invention allows managing audio test portions of test cases with the respective test case so that the tester (client) has access to the audio portion of test cases interactively, or at some future time. The management of the test cases is appropriately performed in the heterogeneous client/server environment. In one embodiment, the test unit(s) connected to the custom server provide an interface to perform recording of the voice path of the test case telephone call. In another embodiment, a recording tap is placed on the voice path of the test case telephone call at off-hook, and then the recording tap is removed at call termination. The tap may be attached directly to a phone line or trunk. The tap may be inherent in a speaker-phone-like configuration of the custom serve…
