Methods, systems, and computer readable media for automated generation of test files and testing network equipment using same

A system for automated generation of test files and for related testing, the system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• a test file generator, wherein the test file generator is implemented using the at least one processor, wherein the test file generator is configured to receive a configuration file, where the configuration file indicates a test case or a test plan to be generated, wherein the configuration file includes a feature identifier or a bug identifier and information about a system under test (SUT), to generate at least one test file based on the configuration file, wherein the at least one test file is for testing a feature or a bug in the SUT associated with the feature identifier or the bug identifier in the configuration file, to generate at least one directory based on the configuration file, and to store the at least one test file in the at least one directory;
• and
• a test controller for testing the feature or bug in the SUT using the at least one test file.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions that when executed by at least one processor of a computer cause the computer to perform steps comprising:

• receiving a configuration file, where the configuration file indicates a test case or a test plan to be generated, wherein the configuration file includes a feature identifier or a bug identifier and information about a system under test (SUT);
• generating at least one test file based on the configuration file, wherein the at least one test file is for testing a feature or a bug in the SUT associated with the feature identifier or the bug identifier in the configuration file;
• generating at least one directory based on the configuration file;
• storing the at least one test file in the at least one directory;
• and
• testing the feature or bug in the SUT using the at least one test file.
