VoIP Patrol

VoIP signaling and media test automaton

Designed to automate end2end and or integration tests.

VoIP patrol will follow a scenario in XML format and will output results in JSON.

Each line in the output file is a separate JSON structure, note that the entire file is not a valid JSON file, this is because VoIP patrol will output results as they become available.

It is possible to test many scenarios that are not easy to test manually like a re-invite with a new codec.

run

./voip_patrol --help

Example: making a test call

<config>
  <actions>
    <action type="call" label="us-east-va"
            transport="tls"
            expected_cause_code="200"
            caller="[email protected]"
            callee="[email protected]"
            to_uri="[email protected]"
            max_duration="20" hangup="16"
            username="VP_ENV_USERNAME"
            password="VP_ENV_PASSWORD"
            rtp_stats="true"
    >
        <x-header name="X-Foo" value="Bar"/>
    </action>
    <!-- note: param value starting with VP_ENV_ will be replaced by environment variables -->
    <!-- note: rtp_stats will include RTP transmission statistics -->
    <!-- note: x-header tag inside an action will append an header -->
    <action type="wait" complete="true"/>

Example: starting a TLS server

./voip_patrol \
   --port 5060 \ # TLS port 5061 +1
   --conf "xml/tls_server.xml" \
   --tls-calist "tls/ca_list.pem" \
   --tls-privkey "tls/key.pem" \
   --tls-cert "tls/certificate.pem" \
   --tls-verify-server \

<config>
  <actions>
     <!-- note: default is the "catch all" account,
          else account as to match called number -->
    <action type="accept"
            account="default"
            hangup="5"
            play_dtmf="0123456789#*"
            play="voice_ref_files/f.wav"
            code="200" reason="YES"
            ring_duration="5"
    />
    <!-- DTMF will be sent using RFC2833 -->
    <!-- note: wait for new incoming calls
               forever and generate test results -->
    <action type="wait" ms="-1"/>
  </actions>
</config>

Example: accepting calls and checking for specific header

<config>
  <actions>
    <action type="accept"
            account="default"
            hangup="5"
            code="200" reason="OK"

        <check-header name="X-Foo" value="Bar"/>
    </action>
    <action type="wait" ms="-1"/>
  </actions>
</config>

Example: accepting calls and checking for specific header with exact match or regular expression and no match on other

<config>
  <actions>
    <action type="accept"
            match_account="default"
            hangup="5"
            code="200" reason="OK"
    >
        <check-header name="Min-SE"/>
        <!-- Chech that a header exists -->
        <check-header name="X-Foo" value="Bar"/>
        <!-- Chech that a header exists and have a specific value -->
        <check-header name="From" regex="^.*sip:\+1234@example\.com"/>
        <!-- Chech that a header exists and matches a specific regex -->
        <check-header name="To" regex="^.*sip:\+5678@example\.com" fail_on_match="true"/>
        <!-- Chech that a header exists and NOT matches a specific regex -->
        <check-header name="RURI" regex="^INVITE\ sip:\d{5}@(\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3}:\d{1,5};.*transport=[a-zA-Z]{3};.*"/>
        <!-- Not really a header, but allows to check the Request URI on an incoming INVITE-->
    </action>
    <action type="wait" ms="-1"/>
  </actions>
</config>

Example: accepting calls and searching the message with a regular expression

<config>
  <actions>
    <action type="accept"
            account="default"
            hangup="5"
            code="200" reason="OK"
    >
        <check-message method="INVITE" regex="m=audio(.*)RTP/AVP 0 8.*"/>
        <!-- searching for pcmu pcma in the SDP -->
    </action>
    <action type="wait" ms="-1"/>
  </actions>
</config>

Example: making tests calls with wait_until

Scenario execution is sequential and non-blocking. We can use “wait” command with previously set “wait_until” params to control parallel execution.

Call States
NULL : Before INVITE is sent or received
CALLING : After INVITE is sent
INCOMING : After INVITE is received.
EARLY : After response with To tag.
CONNECTING : After 2xx is sent/received.
CONFIRMED : After ACK is sent/received.
DISCONNECTED

<config>
  <actions>
    <action type="call" label="call#1"
            transport="udp"
            wait_until="CONFIRMED"
            expected_cause_code="200"
            caller="[email protected]"
            callee="[email protected]"
    />
    <!-- note: will wait until all tests pass wait_until state -->
    <action type="wait"/>
    <action type="call" label="call#2"
            transport="udp"
            wait_until="CONFIRMED"
            expected_cause_code="200"
            caller="[email protected]"

        <action type="codec" disable="pcma"/>
        <!-- re-invite will now use pcmu forcing a new session -->
        <action type="wait" ms="3000"/> <!-- this will wait 3 seconds -->
        <action type="codec" enable="pcma" priority="250"/>
        <!-- re-invite will now use pcma forcing a new session -->

        <action type="wait" complete="true"> <!-- Wait until the calls are disconnected -->
    <actions/>
<config/>

        hangup="5">

    <x-header name="Foo" value="Bar"/>
    </action>
    <action type="wait" complete="true" />
</actions></config>

Example: WAIT action

wait forever:

<action type="wait" ms="-1"/>

wait until you receive a certain amount of calls

<action type="accept" call_count="x" ... />
<action type="wait" complete="true"/>

wait 5 seconds or one call

<action type="accept" call_count="1" ... />
<action type="wait" ms="5000"/>
