1. An apparatus comprising:
- a distributed testing system comprising a logical agent, a server communicating with the logical agent and a graphical user interface (GUI) communicating with the server, the distributed testing system being extensible to, without technical intervention, interface with physical agents and heterogeneous measurements so that the interfaced physical agents perform the interfaced heterogeneous measurements for a test in accordance with control by an end user via the GUI.

Abstract
A distributed testing system including (a) a logical agent; (b) a server communicating with the logical agent; (c) a graphical user interface (GUI) communicating with the server; and (d) a framework. The framework interfaces physical agents to the logical agent, the server and the GUI via plug-ins. The framework also interfaces a plurality of measurements to the server and the GUI via plug-ins. The interfaced physical agents perform the interfaced heterogeneous measurement for a test of a communications network in accordance with control by an end user via the GUI.
