Synthetic test for application connectivity

A method comprising:

• instructing, by processing circuitry of a computing system, one or more network devices to perform a test for network connectivity;
• determining, by the processing circuitry and based at least in part on data obtained from the one or more network devices that performed the test for network connectivity, a failure of the test for network connectivity by a network device of the one or more network devices;
• selecting, by the processing circuitry and based at least in part on a type of the test for network connectivity, an action to remediate a root cause of the failure of the test for network connectivity by the network device;
• and
• performing, by the processing circuitry, the selected action.

A computing system comprising processing circuitry having access to a memory, the processing circuitry configured to:

• instruct one or more access points (APs) to perform a test for network connectivity;
• apply a machine learning system, trained with historical data obtained from the one or more APs that performed the test for network connectivity, to data obtained from the one or more APs that performed the test for network connectivity to determine a failure of the test for network connectivity by an AP of the one or more APs;
• select, based at least in part on a type of the test for network connectivity, an action to remediate a root cause of the failure of the test for network connectivity by the AP, wherein the action comprises restarting the AP;
• and
• perform the selected action by restarting the AP.
