Abstract

An automatic method and system for testing an audiotex system. The method includes generating an input signal for receipt by the audiotex system, identifying a failure if the audiotex system fails to generate an output signal in response to the input signal, and transmitting a failure notification signal, the signal having a failure type associated therewith based on the input signal and the failure to generate an output signal. The method may also include identifying a failure if the audiotex system generates an output signal in response to the input signal indicating that the audiotex system is not fully operational, and transmitting a failure notification signal, the signal having a failure type associated therewith based on the input signal and the output signal generated in response thereto. The system includes input and output devices, a processor, memory and software for performing the method.
