Testing a WebRTC application

headless-browser, phantomjs, webrtc

Solution

The problem is that PhantomJS currently is based on QtWebKit, and WebRTC needs components from Chromium as well as WebKit.

It would be a lot of work for Phantom.js to re-implement all this -- and there are also issues with codec support, etc. Also occurs to me that in a headless environment it would be hard to test getUserMedia(), which is fundamental to WebRTC, but requires user interaction and can't be scripted.

Problem

I'm trying to test a WebRTC application. Right now the best I can do is to open several private browser windows and let them talk to each other, but this clearly doesn't scale. I'm looking for a way to create a large number of peers on a single machine. I was looking into Phantom.js but it didn't seem to support WebRTC yet. Any suggestions?
