Building great phone applications is kind of an adventure all by itself. But let’s admit it, from time to time there’s also just the need for some good, clean fun. In this special edition of our “tips and tricks” series, we’ll show you that the Voxeo VoiceObjects tools can deliver on that count, too.

If you’ve already worked with VoiceObjects Developer Edition you know that it offers fully integrated application testing capabilities. Just select “Test Application” on any start object and use the Test Monitor to call the application using a variety of IVRs including Voxeo Prophecy, or step through the mark-up code using the Debug Viewer. When building text or mobile Web applications you can also use the Phone Simulator to experience the application in same way that it appears on actual phones including e.g. BlackBerries and the iPhone.
What you probably don’t know is that there’s more than meets the eye.

Are you bold and fearless? Are you willing to venture where few have dared to tread? Are you sure you don’t have any project deadlines coming up?
Then follow these steps into the unknown:

1. Create a new Module object and call it “I want to play”
2. In the Object Browser, right-click on the Module object and select “Test Application”
3. This opens up the Test Monitor. Right-click the “Call” button and select “Phone Simulator – Web”

   

4. Pick the phone skin of your choice – BlackBerry looks best.
   
5. Enjoy
