Tektronix Communications Spectra2 Newsletter: April 2012 Edition
SIP Auto-Scripting Spectra2 and Spectra2|SE² now allow you to recreate the SIP call flow from captured traffic.
USE CASES:
Reproduce Production Issues accurately in minutes : Auto-Scripting takes the actual traffic captured in
the production environment using Wireshark or Spectra2 Capture and allows it to be imported into Spec-
tra2 test environment in minutes as PDU library and scripted test logic so that it takes into account all the
idiosyncrasies of the production environment.
Debug Custom Protocol Implementations with ease : By allowing to capture the custom protocol traffic
and reproducing the call flow test script along with custom PDU library, Spectra2 facilitates the trouble-
shooting in custom protocol implementations.
Migrate your scripts to Spectra2: Existing or probable customers, with large number of scripts already
built into the test environment using one of the other competitive products in the industry, can now lev-
erage on Spectra2 Auto-Scripting to recreate the scripts in the Spectra2 workspaces.
Advantages:
Allows testing with the real time call traffic that caused the system failure
Eliminates the possible human errors in recreating the test environment
Improves the test team productivity by accelerating the test case creation
Simplifies the testing of custom protocol implementations
