Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for modeling a workload are disclosed. According to one method, the method occurs at a computing platform. The method includes providing for user configuration of a file system associated with a device under test (DUT), providing for user configuration of at least one emulated user, and providing for user configuration of interaction behavior between the at least one emulated user and the file system.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for scaling a workload are disclosed. According to one exemplary method, the method occurs at a network equipment test device. The method includes generating a first workload comprising a plurality of messages associated with one or more transactions. The method also includes determining one or more workload segments in the first workload, wherein each of the one or more workload segments represents one or more messages associated with a particular transaction and generating a second workload using the one or more workload segments, wherein the second workload includes a number of the workload segments based on a workload scale attribute.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for selecting numbers from multiple ranges are disclosed. One method includes receiving, information associated with a plurality of ranges, selecting, by a module implemented using a non-transitory computer readable medium, iteratively selecting numbers from within the ranges such that, during a selection iteration, a given number within one of the ranges is not selected more than once and such that a sequence of numbers selected during the selection iteration appears to be random, and utilizing the numbers selected during the selection iteration to control at least one aspect of testing a network or storage device.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for testing a network. A source port unit may generate a packet including a payload, the payload comprising a content identifier and content data in accordance with the content identifier, and transmit the packet via the network. A destination port unit may receive the packet and extract the content identifier and received content data from the received packet. The destination port unit may obtain expected content data in accordance with the extracted content identifier and compare the expected content data and the received content data.
