Emergency Network Test Apparatus and Method

Emergency network test logic, comprising:

• an emergency network entity simulator, operative to:
• simulate a public emergency network entity and a plurality of interfaces between the public emergency network entity and a test device;
• and
• manager logic, operatively coupled to the emergency network entity simulator, the manager logic operative to:
• monitor the plurality of interfaces to determine that data flowed correctly on each interface in response to an emergency alert sent from the test device such that the emergency alert is not actually sent to the public emergency network entity;
• and
• determine a test status for each interface indicating a success or a failure of a test, for each interface, the test status based on data correctness such that the test confirms that the emergency alert and associated emergency data would be sent to the public emergency network entity correctly.

Emergency network test logic, comprising:

• front end logic, operative to provide a test graphical user interface (GUI) and a simulated GUI for a public emergency network entity, the front end logic operative to initiate testing procedures;
• manager logic, operatively coupled to the front end logic, the manager logic operative to provide an asynchronous microservice that accepts Representational State Transfer (RESTful) HTTP requests, and to set up and trigger emergency network system tests in response to GUI input received from the front end logic;
• and
• call flow logic, operatively coupled to the manager logic, operative to initiate an emergency call by a test device in response to commands received from the manager logic.
