Cool stuff Olle.

Are there some particular scenarios and/or endpoints you'd like to see
tested?

Are there any scenarios that you think could be automated with SIPp?
(If nothing else, it looks like the SDP negotiation could be put into a
SIPp test pretty quickly)

Currently the Asterisk Test Suite assumes a team branch is equivalent to
trunk, but we could tweak it to allow it to 'force' the Asterisk
installation under test to be treated as a particular version.  That
would allow a Bamboo plan to be pointed at your branch and have the 1.8
compatible tests run against it.  Any scenarios that are automated could
be dropped into a branch of the Test Suite and run against the roibus
Asterisk branch as well.

Let me know if you're interested and I'll get that set up.
