System and method for testing a telecommunication system
First Claim
1. A method of testing a telecommunication system, comprising:
- reading a test script command;
scanning a directory for an executable function associated with the test script command, wherein the executable function is contained within a service testing application associated with the telecommunication system and developed as a dynamic linked library (DLL); and
executing the associated executable function in order to generate a test signal for receipt by the telecommunication system.

Abstract
A system and method for testing a telecommunication system, such as a voice messaging system (VMS) are provided. The system includes a processor for controlling the execution of test script commands used to direct testing of the telecommunication system, and a storage device is provided in communication with the processor for storing the test script commands. A directory in communication with the processor includes at least one service testing application associated with the telecommunication system and developed as a dynamic linked library (DLL). Contained within the service testing application are executable functions associated with the test script commands. A command engine in communication with the processor, storage device, and directory is operable to read the test script commands, scan the directory for the associated executable functions, and execute the associated executable functions. The system further includes a telecommunication interface in communication with the processor and the telecommunication system for generating test signals for receipt by the telecommunication system based on the test script commands and the associated executable functions.
