[SR-Users] [OT] SIP presence and BLF testing tools

[Andrew Pogrebennyk]

Is there any framework available to do functional and regression testing 
of SIP presence and BLF? Ideally I'm looking for a tool for asserting 
the signaling flow and contents of the XML body (state, version numbers 
etc), also I'd like to be able to extract the tags and call-id into 
variables so as to create INVITE with Replaces.

Working with message body variables in sipp is a pain. I'm also familiar 
with SIPr, Net::SIP and a few others, but that doesn't look suitable for 
someone without much development experience. Spirent is a perhaps a 
little closer than others in implementing pickup scenario but awkward 
when you go beyond the default test scenarios.

So I'm interested in any information, tips, suggestions, commercial 
tools etc. I'm asking here 'cause judging from the quality of their 
BLF&presence OpenSIPS and Kamailio got the testing process just right.
