Testing and delivering verification of network configurations

A method comprising:

• receiving an indication of a type and a target of a fault to inject in a network, wherein the network comprises a plurality of devices and a plurality of network elements, and wherein the type of the fault comprises flooding one or more of the plurality of network elements with garbage data by transmitting data that is not properly formatted;
• generating at least a first predicted network map depicting a predicted configuration of the plurality of devices and the plurality of network elements subsequent to injecting the fault in the network;
• injecting the fault at the target in the network, wherein injecting the fault at the target in the network comprises transmitting one or more control signals to the target in the network;
• determining an amount of time that has elapsed since the garbage data was transmitted;
• upon determining that the determined amount of time exceeds a predefined amount of time, generating an actual network map depicting an actual configuration of the plurality of devices and the plurality of network elements;
• identifying, based on a comparison of the first predicted network map and the actual network map, at least one difference in the predicted and actual configurations;
• and
• outputting for display an indication of the identified at least one difference.
