Abstract: Skyramp reduces or eliminates challenges encountered in testing of cloud native applications by providing an interactive testing product by which users can probe a set of microservices in insolation by mocking dependencies. Skyramp is configured for local integration, performance, and load testing, and works with any language. Skyramp reduces the burden of testing by making it easy to deploy (locally or remotely) any subset of the application or target by automatically mocking in the cluster the necessary dependencies, enabling interaction with targets by triggering any endpoints needed during the testing, and storing functional and performance tests for quick future access/use.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for defining a telecommunications network deployment for a particular geographic region that includes of a set of sub-regions. The telecommunications network including an access network, an edge network, and a core network. The method is performed for each sub-region in the set of sub-regions.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for defining a telecommunications network deployment for a particular geographic region, the telecommunications network including an access network, an edge network, and a core network. The method determines population density of UEs (user equipment) for the particular geographic region. Based on the determined population density, the method divides the particular geographic region into a set of sub-regions. For each sub-region in the set of sub-regions, the method simulates performance of the telecommunications network to explore multiple configurations for access nodes that connect UEs in the sub-region to the telecommunications network. Each configuration in the multiple configurations is defined based on population density of the sub-region. The method selects a particular configuration for access nodes from the multiple configurations for use in defining a deployment of the telecommunications network.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for defining a telecommunications network deployment for a particular geographic region comprised of a set of sub-regions, the telecommunications network including an access network, an edge network and a core network. For each UE of multiple UEs distributed across the particular geographic region, the method selects a traffic category from a set of traffic categories to associate with the UE, and based on the selected traffic category, the method uses an application traffic model to compute an upper threshold limit of an attainable data rate for the UE. For each link of multiple transport links that connect the multiple UEs to the telecommunications network, the method determines a link capacity for each transport link based on the upper threshold limits of the attainable data rates computed for each UE of the multiple UEs.
