We are pleased to announce the open source availability of KitCAT (Kit for Converged Application Testing) 1.0-beta. KitCAT is a JUnit based framework for functional testing of converged SIP telecom applications. Here are some highlights of features in KitCAT:

• JUnit based
  
• A single test case can host multiple SIP user agents as well as Web browsers thus enabling easy coordination of test agents as well as creation of converged test cases
• Support for high-level call-control primitives as well as low-level manipulation of SIP messages
• Support for sending and receiving RTP audio streams, and sending DTMF key sequences
• Intuitive assertions that can be extended to support customized condition checking
