Abstract
Methods and test systems for testing a network. A test system may emulate a plurality of users, each emulated user executing a user activity. Each emulated user activity may include one or more commands. At least some emulated user activities may include a first command associated with a first protocol synchronized with a second command associated with a second protocol different from the first protocol. The test system may report a result of emulating the plurality of users.
Claims18
A method performed by a test system coupled to a network under test, comprising:
- emulating a plurality of users, each emulated user (EU) executing an EU activity, wherein
- each EU activity causes the test system to generate and transmit traffic via the network under test,
- each EU activity comprises one or more commands, and
- at least some EU activities comprise a first command associated with a first protocol synchronized with a second command associated with a second protocol different from the first protocol;
- and
- reporting a result of emulating the plurality of users.
3 more elements
A method for testing a network under test, comprising:
- defining one or more emulated user (EU) activities, wherein
- each EU activity comprises one or more commands, and
- at least some EU activities comprise a first command associated with a first protocol synchronized with a second command associated with a second protocol different from the first protocol;
- defining an EU community comprising a plurality of EUs, each of the plurality of EUs performing one of the defined EU activities;
- emulating the EU community using a test system coupled to the network under test, each EU activity performed by the plurality of EUs causing the test system to generate and transmit traffic via the network under test;
- and
- reporting a result of emulating the EU community.
4 more elements
A test system, comprising:
- one or more port units coupled to a network under test
- a test administrator computing device coupled to the one or more port units
- the test administrator computing device and the one or more port units comprising hardware and software for
- emulating a plurality of users, each emulated user (EU) executing an EU activity, wherein
- each EU activity comprises one or more commands
- at least some EU activities comprise a first command associated with a first protocol synchronized with a second command associated with a second protocol different from the first protocol
- reporting a result of emulating the plurality of EUs.
