1. A test system for use with a communications network having a plurality of switches and trunks, comprising:

  • test circuitry operative to test the transmission of digital data over a selected network trunk;

    a test interface communicating with the test circuitry and operative to connect the test circuitry with the selected network trunk;

    a test set communicating with the test circuitry and the test interface and operative to selectively connect to the network switches via the test interface, the test set including processing circuitry, memory and a switching application program;

    wherein the processor executes the application program to route a digital data call via a switch from the selected network trunk to another network trunk, and specify a terminating circuit used to terminate the digital data call via the switch where the call is thereafter delivered, and wherein the test circuitry implements testing of the selected trunk.
