• Setup:
  • Assign  LiveActivty workcenter to business user.  This should make the phone icon appear on top in the shell menu.  No additional CTI setup needed for testing this feature.

• Unit Test:
• Click on the phone number from the application screen, the Live Activity Call popup should open. 
• Check the Callee information in the popup - it should correspond to the BusinessPartnerID passed in the outport
• 

Click on the popup, it should open the Live Activity Center

Check the Call Information on the right side for the parameters passed

Check the default search result list on the left side.

• If the originating object is searchable in Live Activity, it should also be listed in the default search result
  

  

• Open the phone call activity. If isBTDRef is passed as 'X', then the object should be linked to the phone call activity
