Methods and systems of verifying EMS compliance via NMS interface
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method executing within a computer having a processor, comprising:
- translating test scripts defining one or more tests in an interface standard into sequences of Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) messages; and
determining whether an element management system (EMS) is compliant with the interface standard based on responses to at least one of the sequences of CORBA messages, the responses received from the EMS via a network management service (NMS) interface.

Abstract
A test harness tests an element management system (EMS) via a network management system (NMS) interface for compliance with a particular interface standard. The test harness may be used by a party other than a vendor of the EMS to verify compliance of the EMS to the particular interface standard, such as Q.834.4.

15. A computer-readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions to direct a processor to perform acts of:
-
translating test scripts defining one or more tests in an interface standard into sequences of Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) messages; and determining whether an element management system (EMS) is compliant with the interface standard based on responses to at least one of the sequences of CORBA messages, the responses received from the EMS via a network management service (NMS) interface.

16. An apparatus comprising:
-
a processor;
a test harness which interfaces with a network management service (NMS) interface of an element management system (EMS), the test harness having an NMS client to test the EMS via the NMS interface for compliance with an interface standard;wherein the test harness is operative to translate test scripts defining one or more tests in an interface standard into sequences of Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) messages and to determine whether the EMS is compliant with the interface standard based on responses to at least one of the sequences of CORBA messages, the responses received from the EMS via the NMS interface. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
