Hi, we are currently developing a rich communication solution which implement a set of OMA standards. We want to create our testing set upon Robot framework. Just want to know anyone has experiences in these areas? Are there existing libraries support SIP/SOAP/XCAP/DIAMETER protocol testing?

Kind Regards,
Green

Hello,

At least the Robot Framework core team is not aware of any such
library existing.
It is very likely that you must implement your own.

Fortunately, Python is a very suitable programming language to implement this
kind of test libraries. It is probably easiest to begin with reading
the related chapter
in the Robot Framework user guide[1], and then start to spike the library.

Any questions related to implementing test libraries are welcome on this list.

best regards,

I just got home from Munich where I trained and coached a team that
needs to test a Diameter interface. Eventually they decided to create
a wrapper library for an existing proprietary tool, but before that
decision was made we did some searching and noticed that there is a
Python Diameter Library module [1] that could most likely be used to
create a Diameter Test Library for Robot Framework.

If there would've been a ready made test library for Diameter I'm sure
the team I coached would've chosen to use that, and I'm sure there are
other teams that will face the same decision. In other words, there
might be general interest for a new Diameter test library project.

Cheers,

Hi,
I've been working a lot with SIP protocol and there's quite a few
implementations of the stack in Java, for example:
https://jain-sip.dev.java.net/
Since Robot supports Java libraries, You can write a simple wrapper.
I personally hope that we get many wrappers for different protocols
soon and it will become another strong point of Robot.
