This project is to manage voice mails, messages, greetings and distribution lists through web. Voice mails are compressed and stored in CA/Sierra server. Motorola’s wirelink protocol is used to interact with Sierra server using Operational Command language(OCL) commands. OCL commands are used to read / update / delete various features of mailboxes. A web component is developed to communicate with Sierra server using OCL commands. This functionality enables user to access, save, forward and delete his voice messages and their accounts from anywhere through internet.
Whenever there is change to the OCL commands to meet the customer requirements, integration and regression testing is required to ensure that there is no impact on the existing system
