How to test setup

[arunvoip]

HI,

I have installed my Asterisk and Vicidail server. But now I have one problem that before putting in production how do I test that using this server I can make 30 concurent call.

Please help on this. Waiting for a quick reaply,

thanks

Arun

We usually do capacity testing to automated numbers on our own system, but you can easily do test calls to any automated number on any system.

It is difficult to measure system performance on a testing basis since it is very hard to duplicate live agent behaviour and live call terminations.

HI Matt,

thanks for your reply. So, is there any tool or software that I can use to test my this setup.

thank

We use another Asterisk server to test with and just run calls from the vicidial server to the other asterisk server. works pretty well for us.

Hi,

I've been trying to setup a solution similar to those you have mentioned in this thread so that new staff can become familiar with the system on test calls. For this purpose I created an extension which wouldn't be used as standard in my system which plays an echo test so that they can stay on calls for as long as they like, practice external transfers, etc.

When I upload data with the required numbers (1555xxxx) to match the extension into the automated dialler, log an agent in and press resume no calls get connected to the agent and the dialler just runs through all the data.

The extension definition is shown below along with the console output. Any tips on achieving this test setup would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,

Henry

VICIDIAL will not connect Local/ channel calls. You need to go out through an outside trunk(I've even looped IAX out through an IP relay port back to the Asterisk server to accomplish this before)

[henry]

That worked great, I used an IAX trunk as you suggested to another Asterisk box. Need to remember the dial parameters too though for VICIDIAL to transfer it to an agent (tTo)

Code: Select all

exten => _1555.,1,AGI(agi://127.0.0.1:4577/call_log)
exten => _1555.,n,Dial(IAX2/username:password@server/echotestextension,30,tTo)
exten => _1555.,n,Hangup
