Abstract
Methods and test systems for testing a network. A test system may emulate a plurality of users, each emulated user executing a user activity. Each emulated user activity may include one or more commands. At least some emulated user activities may include a command randomly selected from a predefined command pool in accordance with an associated probability distribution. The test system may report a result of emulating the plurality of users.
