| abstract |
Systems and methods are provided for testing the load state of at least one device or communication network in the loaded state. The system includes at least one programmable control device and at least one session computer connected to, or integrated with, the control device. The control device stores a plurality of session scripts which may be pre-compiled and individually interactive. The session scripts may contain an initialization procedure, a predefined test procedure, and a termination procedure. The session computer includes: a plurality of mutually independent logical or physical connection interfaces; and a plurality of script-processing devices being able to simultaneously establish mutually independent connections to a device to be tested. Each script-processing device executes at least one session script received from the control device through each of the mutually independent connection interfaces to simulate a load of a plurality of users on the device to be tested. |
