Abstract: An apparatus and associated methodology are provided to generate system test libraries for solution testing involving heterogeneous devices from different vendors. A unified user interface employs received information to execute the tests based on provided device and network topology libraries, generating the system library to perform the required end-to-end system testing. The unified user interface and the library generation mechanism provide a layer of abstraction avoiding complexities of the system configuration commands native to disparate devices.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus to generate system test libraries for solution testing involving heterogeneous devices from different vendors. It provides a unified user interface, which can use the information input by the user to execute the tests based on provided device and network topology libraries to generate the necessary system library to perform the required end-to-end system testing. The unified user interface and the library generation mechanism provide a layer of abstraction thus preventing the user from dealing with the complexities of the system configuration involving multiple devices, each with its own set of configuration commands.
