Automated multi-node network performance testing

A network automation system platform on a computer system including a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate the computer system carrying out a method for automated multi-node performance validation testing on a communications network, the method comprising:

• acquiring a test configuration for executing a multi-node performance validation test, wherein the test configuration identifies:
• a multi-node network performance test, carried out by an application layer, that specifies a technology-independent test script that is generic to particular technologies for providing performance validation-related services, and
• a node group upon which the multi-node network performance test is to be performed;
• and
• executing the multi-node network performance validation test by the application layer issuing requests to a core layer comprising a set of technology-specific services that issue, in accordance with the application layer requests, technology-specific commands to external services during performance validation of nodes within the node group;
• and
• receiving, by the core layer, a set of responses from the external services corresponding to execution of the set of technology-specific commands by the external services during performance validation testing of the node group.
