1. A method for testing a contact center, comprising the steps of:
- receiving a communication at said contact center, said communication including one of a web-based communication and a telephony-based communication, said web-based communication generated by a virtual web user system and said telephony-based communication generated by a virtual telephone caller system;
responding to said communication with a virtual agent, said virtual agent simulating actions of an agent, said virtual agent providing a response to said web-based communication and to said telephony-based communication;
measuring at least one parameter of said contact center without coordinating said web-based communication generated by said virtual web user system with said virtual agent and without coordinating said telephony-based communication generated by said virtual telephone caller system with said virtual agent; and
providing results of said measuring of said at least one parameter of said contact center.

Abstract
A method and computer program product for testing using asynchronous automated virtual agent behavior is presented. A communication including one of a web-based communication and a telephony-based communication is received at a contact center. The communication is responded to by a virtual agent simulating actions of an agent in a coordinated, asynchronous manner. The virtual agent is capable of providing a response to the web-based communication and to the telephony-based communication. At least one parameter of said contact center is measured and the results are presented to a contact center manager.

13. A physical computer readable storage medium having computer readable code thereon for measuring at least one parameter of a contact center, the medium comprising:
-
instructions for receiving a communication at said contact center, said communication including one of a web-based communication and a telephony-based communication, said web-based communication generated by a virtual web user system and said telephony-based communication generated by a virtual telephone caller system; instructions for responding to said communication with a virtual agent simulating actions of an agent, said virtual agent providing a response to said web-based communication and to said telephony-based communication; instructions for measuring said at least one parameter of said contact center without coordinating said web-based communication generated by said virtual web user system with said virtual agent and without coordinating said telephony-based communication generated by said virtual telephone caller system with said virtual agent; and instructions for providing results of said measuring of said at least one parameter of said contact center. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
