1. A system for testing a network equipment device under test (DUT), the system comprising:

  • a network equipment test device including at least one processor and configured to execute a test script to test the network equipment DUT by sending network traffic to and receiving network traffic from the network equipment DUT using a connectionless protocol;

    a test message generator implemented on the network equipment test device and configured for transmitting a first message using the connectionless protocol for a network flow to the network equipment DUT according to the test script and for storing a record for the network flow including a first flow identifier for the network flow based on a first payload of the first message; and

    a test analyzer implemented on the network equipment test device and configured for receiving a second message from the network equipment DUT and determining that the second message belongs to the network flow by determining a second flow identifier based on a second payload of the second message and matching the second flow identifier to the first flow identifier;

    wherein the test analyzer is configured for capturing a flow tuple from the second message, adding the flow tuple to the record for the network flow in a flow map table, and determining that one or more subsequently received messages belong to the network flow using the flow tuple; and

    wherein the test analyzer is configured for analyzing the subsequently received messages in accordance with the test script and producing a test report for the network equipment DUT based on analyzing the subsequently received messages.
