The best you can do is the BroadSoft Developers program and they give you access to the sandbox which you already seem to know about. Not certain what limitations you are referring to as they give you an Enterprise to mess around with. However it is definitely possible and common knowledge for lab instances to be purchased and you definitely should look into doing that. I honestly can't tell you how much it was in either of the companies I've worked for but we ended up having a Lab in both situations (regardless to how well prepared we were to use it). We mostly were using the OCI-P interface so I'm not certain what APIs you are using but certainly is doable for testing, though it is slow because thats the nature of OCI-P. Feel free to reach out to me . Morgan On Wed, Aug 10, 2016 at 10:47 AM, Justin Hornosty <justin at credil.org> wrote:

Hello all,

For those of you who develop against the Broadworks AS and XSP APIs, how do you do testing? We know of the online sandbox instances, but they seem too limited to us, and do include many of the features that we need.

Have you licensed a lab instance of Broadworks? If so, how did you go about this? Our reseller doesn't seem to understand the question. Or is there some lab instance or temporary/limited license program that we are unaware of?

The same question applies to training systems: we would like to be able to train operators on non-live systems, let them learn to screw it up and fix it, but so far the price seems prohitive to doing this.

Thanks!

We have several labs internally, mostly simplex used for our Dev teams. We have Dev and QA simplex labs, and a Maintenance lab that is full duplex that mirrors production as close as possible. Dev and QA perform final checks and validation on the maintenance lab before going into production. We send all external customer developers to the BroadSoft Developer Community (http://developer.broadsoft.com/php/xtended/) before we allow them to interop with our production, and in some cases lab servers. This is mostly for XSI applications and embedded OCI-P/OCI-C. Good luck, I hope this helps.
