Invalid Value for Effective Parameter

Purpose #

Validates behavior of the server when an invalid value is sent for the effective param as part of Australian CDR calls. What is an invalid effective param? Effective param is an ENUM with value of CURRENT, FUTURE and ALL. For this test we pass an alternate value such as test. The server is expected to respond with an error.
