Debugging Voice Applications without a VoiceXML Gateway 

Use

If you have not set up a VoiceXML gateway, you can still test your voice-enabled applications using SAP Text Application Gateway (STAG).

STAG does not recognize natural voice responses. For this reason, the tool cannot be used as a final test of an application. You can test only using the grammars you defined for utterances. For example, if you coded the utterance OK to be accepted as true, you can test that only in a VoiceXML gateway. If you type OK instead of true in STAG, the response is not understood and the program fails.

Prerequisites

You have deployed the voice enabled application.

You have started Visual Composer and opened the application that you want to debug.

Procedure

Choose...

       1.      Choose  Runtime Trace.

The Trace Viewer starts in a new screen.

       2.      Choose Run in Text Gateway.

The STAG SAP Text Application Gateway screen appears.

       3.      Choose Go.

The prompt output appears as text.

       4.      In the Say field, type the response and choose Submit.

       5.      Repeat step 4 until the output shows disconnect.

Result

You have tested your application using STAG.
