A case generator for network reliability testing based on profile

From the aspect of obvious problems on reliability testing, this paper focuses on the method of generating reliability testing cases based on the profile of network. Then, a test case generator is designed and implemented for communication network to solve the problem of how to do the test case automatically. This generator can schedule the application obeying complex probability distributions, run the testing application requests automatically, and generate a collection in consistent with which the profile sets through constructing relationships among the profiles of mission, usage and application. Putting the application requests into the network to form truly data flows helps the network reliability be better tested. At last, the system is applied and verified by a laboratory network case.
