  • Automated microcode test packet generation engine
    Patent number: 6721276
    Abstract: A routing chip test case generator operable to generate test cases for testing microcode allows test cases to be directed to specific operations, such as those executed by an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), without burdening the test cases with other operations performed during packet traffic routing in a routing engine. Such test cases are directed to specific microcode operations to be tested by simulating the other traffic processing operations performed during packet routing. A router packet is generated to simulate message traffic in a routing engine. The router packet is modified to produce a router test packet that emulates the packet at a point prior to the specific microcode instructions to be tested. A test verification packet is generated to simulate the router test packet after the specific microcode instructions to be tested are applied to the router test packet.
