Systems and method for testing the load of at least one IP-supported device
First Claim
1. A system for testing a load state of at least one device in the case of a load by a plurality of users, the device being connected to a communications network based on an IP standard, the system comprising:
- a control device having an assigned memory device storing a plurality of session scripts, each session script containing an initialization procedure and a termination procedure; and
at least one session computer connected to the control device and comprising;
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 via the connection interfaces, to a device to be tested, wherein 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, wherein the at least one session computer logs messages generated by the execution of the at least one session script to evaluate a load state of the device to be tested.

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.

11. A method for testing a load state of at least one device in the case of a load by a plurality of users, the device being connected to a communications network based on an IP standard, the method comprising:
-
writing a plurality of session scripts, which each include an initialization procedure and a termination procedure;
storing the plurality of session scripts in a control device;
selecting at the control device a plurality of mutually independent logical or physical connection interfaces of at least one session computer;
assigning each of the mutually independent connection interfaces to a script-processing device;
loading appropriate session scripts by the control device into each script-processing device assigned to the selected connection interfaces;
executing the loaded session scripts through the mutually independent connection interfaces such that the selected connection interfaces simultaneously initialize a plurality of independent IP connections to a device to be tested to simulate a load state of a plurality of users on the device to be tested; and
logging messages generated by the execution of the loaded session scripts to evaluate the load state on the device to be tested. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method for testing a load state of at least one device in the case of a load by a plurality of users, the device being connected to a communications network, the method comprising:
-
writing a plurality of individually interactive session scripts, which at least one session script includes an initialization procedure, a dynamic test procedure that is capable of implementing a dynamic behavior based upon replies from the device under test, and a termination procedure;
storing the plurality of session scripts in a control device;
selecting at the control device a plurality of mutually independent logical or physical connection interfaces of at least one session computer;
assigning each of the mutually independent connection interfaces to a script-processing device;
loading appropriate session scripts by the control device into each script-processing device assigned to the selected connection interfaces;
executing the loaded session scripts through the mutually independent connection interfaces such that the selected connection interfaces simultaneously initialize a plurality of independent connections to a device to be tested to dynamically simulate a load state of a plurality of users on the device to be tested; and
logging messages generated by the execution of the loaded session scripts to evaluate the load state on the device to be tested. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
