Abstract
In one embodiment, a test system comprises: a network access point simulation component, a local control component, and a reference component. The network access point simulation component is configured to simulate communication network access point operations comprising test interactions with user equipment. The number of devices under test included in the user equipment and distinct network access points that are coincidentally simulated are variable. The local control component is configured to direct the network access point simulation component and to control the test interactions with the user equipment. The local control component comprises a test executive operable to direct simulation of communication network operations and the test interactions in accordance with information received from the remote control components. The reference component is operable to communicatively couple with the network access point simulation component similar to the user equipment and validate the test interactions.
