Abstract
WebRTC is the umbrella term for several emergent technologies aimed to exchange real-time media in the Web. WebRTC is gaining the attention of practitioners quickly, and therefore the mechanisms to provide quality assurance for WebRTC services are becoming more and more demanded. WebRTC has been conceived as a peer-to-peer architecture where browsers can directly communicate. This model can be extended using a media server to provide extra features such as group communications, media recording, and so on. In this context, the open source initiative kurento.org provides a WebRTC media server and a set of APIs aimed to simplify the development of advanced WebRTC applications. Among these APIs, Kurento provides a high level testing infrastructure to assess WebRTC services in terms of functionality, performance, and quality-of-experience. This paper presents a detailed description of the testing services provided by this framework.
