Automated IVR testing

Test your IVR with a real call — before your customers find the broken option.

Sonaris dials your number, navigates the menus, and returns PASS or FAIL with the recording, transcript, timings and the exact step that broke.

No credit card. No installation. First result in under 2 minutes.

Why IVRs break quietly

The line answers. Option 2 goes nowhere.

A carrier change, a prompt re-recorded, a routing rule edited on Friday — the number still rings, so monitoring stays green while callers hit a dead end.

Manual testing catches it, when someone remembers. Sonaris walks the same path your customers do, on a schedule, and keeps the evidence.

How the test works

A real call, not a server ping.

  • We dial like a customer

    Over the phone network, from a real number. No installation, no agent, no change to your phone system.

  • We listen, then respond

    Sonaris waits for the prompt to finish, presses the keys you defined — including account numbers — and listens again.

  • You get evidence

    PASS or FAIL per step, with what was actually heard, how long it took, and the recording to prove it.

  • Declared authorization for every number
  • Recordings private to your account
  • United States · Canada · Brazil

From test to monitor

Turn one test into continuous monitoring.

Run the same journey on a schedule and get an alert with the evidence your team needs to investigate immediately.

Different paths are different journeys — sales, support, account lookup — and Sonaris rotates through them so the whole tree stays covered without multiplying calls.

FAQ

Questions before your first test.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Sonaris calls your number from the outside, exactly like a customer. Nothing is installed and your phone system is not touched.

Can I test menus that ask for an account number?

Yes. A journey step can send a full digit sequence. Use a test account registered in your own IVR — never a real customer’s identifier.

How is this different from Cyara or Hammer?

Same category, different buyer. Sonaris is self-service: public pricing, no demo, no implementation project. You run the first test in under two minutes.

Which countries are covered?

United States and Canada for local and toll-free numbers, and Brazil for landlines. Coverage per number type is published on the coverage page and is always what applies.

Is the call recorded?

Yes, and the recording stays private to your account — it is the evidence behind the verdict. You must confirm you are authorized to test the number.

Your customers call. Sonaris checks first.
