Easily, as long as you have no media :)

Use -sn uac_pcap instead of -sn uac to test with RTP (and watch your call count drop). Add recording (MixMonitor()) to your dialplan and watch the call count go down even more. ;)

A rough way to see if call quality is deteriorating would be to call your Asterisk box while the SIPP test is running and listen to some message played via Background().
