Testing multi-protocol message and connection applications with reusable test components sharing dynamically generated data and limited hardware resources

Abstract

A test system tests multi-protocol message and connection oriented applications with reusable test components that share dynamically generated data and limited hardware resources. The test system includes a test agent, which includes a test scheduler scheduling tests, and an enhanced sequence test including a sequence of test components dynamically generating and sharing the data among the test components. The test components are re-usable. A data store such as a memory stores the dynamically generated data for use by a later component test, in a user-defined name-value combination.
