Abstract
Systems and methods for intelligent service assurance testing provided herein include receiving network infrastructure information relating to a network, receiving one or more service assurance testing parameters, determining a test schedule of one or more service assurance tests for service assurance testing of the network, the test schedule being based at least in part on the network infrastructure information and the one or more service assurance testing parameters, and deploying the one or more service assurance tests on one or more devices of the network according to the test schedule.
Claims33
A system for service assurance testing of a computer network, comprising:
- one or more processors configured to:
- receive network infrastructure information relating to the network,
- receive one or more service assurance testing parameters,
- determine a test schedule of one or more service assurance tests for service assurance testing of the network, the test schedule being based at least in part on the network infrastructure information, and the one or more service assurance testing parameters, and
- deploy the one or more service assurance tests on one or more devices of the network according to the test schedule.
A method for service assurance testing of a computer network, the method being executed by one or more processors configured to perform a plurality of operations comprising:
- receiving network infrastructure information relating to the network;
- receiving one or more service assurance testing parameters;
- determining a test schedule of one or more service assurance tests for service assurance testing of the network, the test schedule being based at least in part on the network infrastructure information and the one or more service assurance testing parameters;
- and
- deploying the one or more service assurance tests on one or more devices of the network according to the test schedule.
A system for service assurance testing of an computer network, comprising:
- one or more processors configured to:
- receive network infrastructure information relating to the network,
- create a map of at least a portion of the network, using the received network infrastructure information, wherein the map includes:
- information relating to the physical structure of the portion of the network,
- information relating to traffic within the portion of the network, and
- information relating to one or more services supported, at least in part, by the portion of the network,
- receive one or more service assurance testing parameters,
- determine a test schedule of one or more service assurance tests for service assurance testing of the network, the test schedule being based at least in part on information included in the map and the one or more service assurance testing parameters,
- deploy the one or more service assurance tests on one or more devices of the network according to the test schedule;
- receive results from one or more of the deployed service assurance tests;
- and
- generate at least one report based on the received results.
