Communication network element performance test apparatus and method

Abstract

The invention discloses a device and a method for testing performance of a communication element. The device comprises a test console for constituting a test message, a service model and a test task, transmitting the test task to a test execution unit, and receiving the test statistic information uploaded from the test execution unit; the test execution unit for executing the received test task, acquiring the test statistic information according to the execution result of the test task, and uploading the test statistic information to the test console. The technical scheme in the invention can stimulate internal or external business process of the communication element and pick-up service data.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a testing device and method, in particular to a communication network element performance testing device and method. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of mobile communication technology, the structure of mobile phone networks is becoming more and more complex, and the functions are becoming more and more complete. At the same time, communication equipment manufacturers need to develop more and more types of equipment, and the network of operators is becoming more and more complex. In order to ensure the stable operation of the communication network elements, the communication network elements need to undergo strict certification and testing before networking. [0003] Currently, the testing of communication network elements includes performance testing and logic testing. The logic test is to test the hardware of the communication network element, which will not be discussed here. Existing performance te...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] 1. Only a limited number of messages can be sent and the message content is fixed, but there are various messages in the existing business flow, and the content of each service flow message is not exactly the same, and there are subtle differences between them;

[0005] 2. The message setting is related to the actual sending physical port, and the configuration flexibility is poor;

[0006] 3. Provided by a third-party manufacturer, it can only be accessed from the external interface of the network element in the networking test, and it is difficult to test the internal performance of the network element;

[0007] 4. It is difficult to test the real service flow performance inside the network element;

[0008] 5. It is difficult to construct various complex environments and background traffic inside network elements;

[0009]6. Hardware and software functions cannot be upgraded in time with the update of business processes, and there are risks such as expensive upgrades that lead to increased testing costs

[0011] 1. It is difficult to test the internal process of network elements, and all internal process information needs to be obtained by analyzing external processes;

[0012]2. Building a complex business environment requires a large number of external devices to assist in realization, and the cost is relatively high
