1 - Introduction



This document is the detailed Interoperability Verification Testing (IVT) Test Report for Release 2.X of accessaphone™. It defines the scope, approach, resources, schedule, risks/mitigations, and entry/exit criteria for IVT testing.

2 - Objective(s)



The principle objective of the IVT is to provide Cisco® CTDP program partners with an approved, consistent and comprehensive verification methodology for acceptance of their application product into the Cisco® Technology Developer Program (CTDP). Testing is focused on functionality and compliance with the open standards followed by the Cisco® Call Manager and design within context of a Cisco® internetworking infrastructure.

3 - Scope



The IVT test activities between third party devices and the Cisco® IVT test bed determines whether the implementation of third-party devices provides basic functionality without compromising the Cisco® network. This document provides the test strategy and test case procedures to validate the mandatory standard requirements and a variety of optional requirements for the device. The device under test must satisfy all the mandatory requirements, and selected optional requirements in order to pass the test. This test determines whether the product performs as required and inter-operates on a pass/fail basis. The test suite therefore emphasizes error detection, not error diagnosis or correction; however, if there is a failure, data will be captured for further analysis, and, if possible, will be traced to the specification of the standard to determine the cause of the problem. Any problems found will be reported to Cisco® and to the vendor for correction.

4 - Product Overview



accessaphone™ uses Microsoft® TAPI 2.1 and Cisco® TSP 4.x to integrate with our software. We also provide an extensive accessibility interface using TTS (Text-To-Speech) to communicate all information to the end user, making Cisco® telephony devices COMPLETELY accessible to blind and low vision users. Our software is Section 508 compliant with the government accessibility standards.

4.1 - What Will Be Tested


  • Installation and configuration
  • Call Manager registration
  • Application stability and reliability
  • Basic application functionality
  • Core functionality (call hold, call transfer, conferencing, call forwarding, call park and retrieval, call pick up)
  • Advanced functionality (shared extension, Message Waiting Indicator (MWI), call waiting, phone template modifications, phone reset)
  • Performance testing: impact on Call Manager
  • Extension mobility
  • Port scan
  • Negative testing

7 - Test Approach



The goal of the IVT is to test in a customer-like environment to ensure that it behaves in a reliable manner under conditions that reflect typical customer usage and product deployment. This includes the exercise of provisioning, generating call traffic of supported types, maintenance activities, troubleshooting, and fault insertion. The IVT will focus on the following seven main areas:

7.1.1 - Phase 1 Installation & Configuration



This phase included making sure the third-party application installed correctly and that it registered correctly with the Call Manager. These tests will also focus on clean installation, configuration and removal of any software components on the Call Manager server(s).

7.1.2 - Phase 2 Application Reliability Verification



These tests test the various features of the third-party application and its various components. Also involves the testing of the application against the Application note and IVT questionnaire requirements to ensure that it functions reliably and consistently in a manner that meets the requirements.

7.1.3 - Phase 3 Scalability, Stress, Performance and Load Testing



These tests are executed to determine the impact of the third-party software on the Cisco® Call Manager’s ability to process calls. Testing will also determine the outer limits of the applications ability to properly function under stress and perform characterizing measurements on the Call Manager.

7.1.4 - Phase 4 Informational tests



These tests are executed to verify specific information about the third-party product to Cisco® in relation to the IVT questionnaire and Application notes from the vendor.

7.1.5 - Phase 5 Negative Tests



These tests are executed to determine the ability of the impact on calls, the Call Manager and the third-party application when combinations of the aforementioned fail by power failure or network connectivity problems. Testing robustness of the application through hardware and software fault insertion i.e. Failover/fallback.
