Abstract: A method for using a programmable processing pipeline to implement an application replay sequence test or a scalable CPS generation test includes obtaining a sequence replay definition code package from a sequence relay definition storage element and converting the sequence replay definition code package into a hardware configuration image. The method further includes provisioning the hardware configuration image on at least one programmable processing pipeline device, causing the at least one programmable processing pipeline device to implement a test session connection initiator and a test session receiver, and utilizing the hardware configuration image to establish a first test session connection from the test session connection initiator and the test session connection receiver through a system under test (SUT).

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for testing a system under test (SUT). An example system includes a fabric emulation device configured for emulating a data center switching fabric using emulated switch queues and for emulating one or more congestion control mechanisms for network traffic on the data center switching fabric from the SUT. The system includes a test execution manager configured for: executing a test case causing the fabric emulation device to invoke at least a first congestion control mechanism; logging one or more metrics characterizing the first congestion control mechanism in response to invoking the first congestion control mechanism, wherein logging the one or more metrics comprises logging at least one performance metric from at least one emulated switch queue of the fabric emulation device; and outputting a test report based on logging the one or more metrics.

Abstract: One example method occurs in a test environment comprising network emulation platforms (NEPs), wherein the NEPs implement an emulated switching fabric comprising emulated switches, wherein the NEPs are connected via at least one physical cable. The method includes determining, using a network test system controller, at least one routing path group for communications between the emulated switches, wherein each of the at least one routing path group includes or uses virtual links utilizing one or more lanes of the at least one physical cable; configuring, using the network test system controller, physical ports of the NEPs to assign traffic during a test session to one of the virtual links based on a routing path group identifier associated with the traffic; and initiating, using the network test system controller, the test session involving the test environment.

Abstract: The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer readable media for augmented reality navigation in network test environments. A method for augmented reality navigation in network test environments includes at a user device of a user, wherein the user device is executing an augmented reality (AR) navigation application: communicating, to an AR navigation system, user location information and resource identification information obtained from a visual code or a user interface, wherein the resource identification information indicates a physical network testing or monitoring resource in a real-world test environment; receiving, from the AR navigation system, navigation information for navigating the user to the physical network testing or monitoring resource; and providing, via a display, the navigation information for navigating the user to the physical network testing or monitoring resource.

Abstract: The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer readable media for generating a programming-language-neutral representation of web application protocol interactions that implement a network test. One method includes receiving, at a web server, test configuration information for configuring a test for testing at least one network device. The method further includes generating, based on the test configuration information a programming-language-neutral representation of web application protocol interactions that implement the test. The method further includes outputting the representation of the web application protocol interactions to a user or to a translator for translation into at least one target programming language.
