# Test Call

Starting with release [v2.7](https://github.com/telcobridges-main/tmedia-wiki/tree/main/reference/signalling/tctrl-version-2-8/README.md) of [Toolpack](https://telcobridges.com/products/development-platforms-tdev/), it is now possible to simulate incoming calls and issue outgoing calls through the [Web Portal](https://github.com/telcobridges-main/tmedia-wiki/tree/main/tmedia/configuration/web-portal/README.md) interface. This will make a real call on the network and there is a possibility to play a tone string, or audio files that the callee will hear.

### Features

* **Extended parameter testing**: It is often hard to reproduce a particular call scenario in a production environment. The Test Call interface provides every routing script parameter available to be customized, allowing to test every corner case possible. Calls can be initiated from and to every [Network Access Point](https://github.com/telcobridges-main/tmedia-wiki/tree/main/reference/protocols/nap/README.md)s available in the system, which lets the user quickly verify the behavior of calls to remote peers.
* **Easier debugging**: The call flow of all supported protocols is available to the user as it occurs in real time. Audio can be played and recorded to enable the debugging of connection paths efficiently.
* **Faster deployment**: With Test Call, any call can be instantly instantiated from and to any peer with different settings from the [Web Portal](https://github.com/telcobridges-main/tmedia-wiki/tree/main/tmedia/configuration/web-portal/README.md) interface. It is now possible to test a Toolpack system without using actual phones to start calls. Using incoming calls, the routing scripts can effectively be tested in an production environment without using an external equipment.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/telecom-references/telecom-concepts/test-call.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
