Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for call flow analysis using comparison level indicators (CLIs) are disclosed. One exemplary method includes emulating a plurality of user devices, transmitting test traffic to at least one device under test (DUT) using the emulated user devices, receiving traffic from the at least one DUT in response to the traffic transmitted by the emulated user devices, and analyzing the traffic received from the at least one DUT using one or more CLIs, wherein each CLI indicates particular information associated with the traffic to analyze or compare.
Claims20
A method for call flow analysis using comparison level indicators (CLIs), the method comprising:
- at a network equipment test device:
- emulating a plurality of user devices;
- prior to transmitting test traffic, assigning one or more comparison level indicators (CLIs) to data portions associated with a call flow initiated by the test traffic, wherein each of the one or more CLIs indicates particular information associated with the call flow to analyze or compare, wherein at least one of the data portions includes information in a message sent from at least one device under test (DUT) after receiving the test traffic;
- transmitting the test traffic to the at least one DUT using the emulated user devices;
- receiving traffic from the at least one DUT in response to the traffic transmitted by the emulated user devices;
- analyzing the traffic received from the at least one DUT using the one or more CLIs;
- and
- displaying, to a user, data analysis based on the one or more CLIs.
A system for call flow analysis using comparison level indicators (CLIs), the system comprising:
- a network equipment test device comprising:
- a user device emulator configured to emulate at least one user device and to transmit test traffic to at least one device under test (DUT);
- a communications interface configured to receive traffic from the at least one DUT in response to the traffic transmitted by the emulated user devices;
- and
- a traffic analyzer configured to analyze the traffic received from the at least one DUT using one or more comparison level indicators (CLIs), wherein, prior to transmitting test traffic, the traffic analyzer is configured to assign the one or more CLIs to data portions associated with a call flow initiated by the test traffic, wherein each of the one or more CLIs indicates particular information associated with the call flow to analyze or compare, wherein at least one of the data portions includes information in a message sent from the at least one DUT after receiving the test traffic.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions embodied in the computer readable medium that when executed by a processor of a computer control the computer to perform steps comprising:
- at a network equipment test device:
- emulating a plurality of user devices;
- prior to transmitting test traffic, assigning one or more comparison level indicators (CLIs) to data portions associated with a call flow initiated by the test traffic, wherein each of the one or more CLIs indicates particular information associated with the call flow to analyze or compare, wherein at least one of the data portions includes information in a message sent from at least one device under test (DUT) after receiving the test traffic;
- transmitting the test traffic to the at least one DUT using the emulated user devices;
- receiving traffic from the at least one DUT in response to the traffic transmitted by the emulated user devices;
- analyzing the traffic received from the at least one DUT using the one or more CLIs;
- and
- displaying, to a user, data analysis based on the one or more CLIs.
