Abstract: A system, method of automated testing and control of networked devices is provided. One or more test cases are defined in a test plan for execution against a plurality of networked devices. The test cases are created using a command defined grammar comprising verbs which characterize how commands or actions should be performed. Abstraction markers allow for device-specific characteristics to be mapped to a target device, without modification of the test cases and the test plan itself. The verbs and abstraction markers, once mapped to a target device form device-specific commands comprising actions and device-specific characteristics which are executed against the target networked device. The resulting responses are parsed against expected responses and a result or verdict is assigned. By providing command grammar and abstraction capability a common test plan and test cases can be applied across a range of diverse networked devices without require user intervention or modification.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a communication node and method for connecting and maintaining a call between a caller device and a callee device. The communication node comprises a session controller module and a plurality of internal SIP UA (Session Initiation Protocol User Agent) servers. The session controller module is adapted to remain in communication with the caller device and the callee device through a whole duration of the call. The plurality of internal SIP UA servers is adapted to communicate with the session controller module by open protocol.
