Creating Speech Applications with Dialog Designer > Testing Applications
	Testing Applications

Before you deploy your application, and often during the application development process, Avaya recommends that you test your application. Dialog Designer offers an application simulation and debugging environment in which you can exhaustively test your application before "going live" with the application. Using the simulation and debugging tools, you can verify that the application works the way you want. You can also eliminate most, if not all, problems with your application before you ever deploy the application to a live system.

While testing an application by simulation, you can:

• Specify input parameters

• Simulate a variety of error conditions

• Test for DTMF and spoken responses

• Interact with databases, in actuality or by simulation

• Invoke Web services
