Abstract

A method (100) and system (30) to enable automatic generation and testing of voice applications includes generating (102) a test driver application (TDA) (32) and generating (104) a modified original voice application (34) to be tested by the TDA within a call flow builder (10). The modified application can include or generate (106) “test hooks” or more particularly DTMF tones and DTMF grammars that can be used to synchronize the modified original voice application with the TDA. The TDA can test (110) all possible paths of the modified original voice application. Note the TDA and the modified original voice application can be generated and/or tested (112) in a test environment within the call flow builder or a telephony environment. The TDA can be automatically generated (108) to exercise all possible flows where the DTMF tones define the current state and location of the modified application.
