First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for testing and analyzing a device-under-analysis (DUA), comprising:
- establishing a first communication link between the DUA and an analyzer, wherein the analyzer is external to the DUA;
establishing a second communication link between a device-under-observation (DUO) and the analyzer, the DUA and the DUO being distinct member devices of a multi-device system;
transmitting via the first communication link a test case to the DUA;
monitoring via the second communication link a system-wide impact of the DUA in the multi-device system caused by the test case; and
analyzing the DUA based on the test case and the system-wide impact.

Abstract
A system and method for analyzing and/or testing member devices in a multi-device system. The multi-device system includes a device-under-analysis (DUA) and a device-under-observation (DUO). An analyzer that is external to the multi-device system generates and sends test messages to the DUA. The analyzer monitors the health of the multi-device system through the DUO and detects a system-wide impact of the DUA caused by the test messages. The analyzer analyzes the DUA based on the test messages and the system-wide impact.
