Logical port and layer protocol test configuration resource manager
First Claim
1. A test configuration resource manager for a network test system, comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause a computing device to perform a resource manager process, comprising;
defining a first test configuration including attributes of a plurality of test ports, a respective protocol suite for each of the plurality of test ports, and one or more traffic items to be generated by the plurality of tests ports during a test session;
receiving a user input identifying a portion of the first test configuration;
storing the identified portion of the first test configuration as a test configuration resource in a library of test configuration resources;
receiving a user input identifying a stored test configuration resource in the library of test configuration resources;
retrieving the stored test configuration resource; and
incorporating the retrieved test configuration resource into a second test configuration, whereinincorporating the retrieved test configuration resource into the second test configuration further comprises mapping one or more ports defined in the retrieved test configuration resource to ports within the second test configuration, andat least one port defined in the retrieved test configuration resource is replicated and mapped to a plurality of ports in the second test configuration.

Abstract
A test configuration resource manager and a method of managing test configuration resources in a network test system. A computer readable storage medium may store instructions that, when executed, cause a computing device to receive a user input identifying a portion of a first test configuration, store the identified portion of the first test configuration as a test configuration resource in a library of test configuration resources, receive a user input identifying a stored test configuration resource, retrieve the identified stored test configuration resource, and incorporate the retrieved test configuration resource into a second test configuration. The library of test configuration resources may include one or more of port resources, protocol resources, and traffic resources.
