ABSTRACT:
A method for testing a telecommunications system. The method includes initializing parameters of a telecommunications tester. A test sequence is executed from instructions stored in the telecommunications tester. The duration of at least one speech audio signal or period of silence produced by the telecommunications system is measured. The result of the measuring step is compared with an expected value to determine whether the appropriate speech audio was produced by the telecommunications system.
