Yes. Perhaps I'm not understanding something about your question? This
is *nix, automation and scripting is what it does well.

For example, CDR. Since the tests are the same every time, the CDR
should be the same. Just a simple "diff" comparing the CDRs would flag
anything that changed. Something similar could probably done with AMI
and even console output just to flag abnormalities.

Once the testing suite is working well I'd think you'd cron it to run
daily pulling in the latest SVN and reporting results.

Again, I don't think I'm understanding what you feel the problem is? The
two systems are connected together. You trigger something on Box A and
look for results on Box B (or a combination of A & B depending on the
test).
