Computaris approach to verify, evaluate and validate application servers and other systems under test is based on a black box strategy as defined by 3GPP. Systems under test can be peer servers running any of the major Telecom application protocols (Diameter, CAMEL, CORBA, Web Services, Telnet, JMS, SIP, and more). Test plans can be accommodated to the actual production environment, for example to simulate patterns of Diameter traffic like 10% immediate event charging, 20% event charging with unit reservation, and 70% session-based charging.
Computaris has developed a comprehensive and versatile suite of testing tools for end-toend testing, evaluation and validation of telecom services. All tools are dressed in a convenient GUI, allowing for the easy creation of test plans and test scenarios. The test scenarios describe a logical sequence of protocol messages and can be added with a set of validation rules for assertion-based verification of results. All messages are encoded and decoded according to the protocol scheme of the system under test.
To simulate any production environment in which applications can run on simple commodity hardware and on highly complex OSS/BSS infrastructures TOP Testing Suite is both horizontally and vertically scalable. Multiple instances of TOP Testing Suite can run on one or multiple nodes enabling extensive load and stress testing. TOP Testing Suites multi-threading feature allows running multiple tasks to scale up with the hardware installed base of any Telecom system under test.
Use Cases
TOP Testing Suite can assist in simple to most complex use cases. In simple configurations the suite runs as a standalone application to replacend simulate telecom nodes such as MSCs, SCPs, or billing and charging systems in order to generate system specific messages and network traffic. In more complex use cases TOP Testing Suite provisions data to multiple nodes to test any logical combination of network elements (including MSCs, SCPs, Billing and Charging servers, and other backend database servers), protocols and services.
JMeter
JMeter is a powerful testing framework designed to load test functional behavior and measure performance. JMeter provides extensive performance testing capabilities, including HTTP, FTP, JDBC queries, SOAP, Web Services, TCP, LDAP, JMS, JUnit, and SMTP. JMeter can generate load on a server and analyze overall performance under different load types and load factors, and produce a graphical analysis of the measured performance.
Protocols can be easily customized by adding new messages or message types in the form of XML. Test scenarios can be extended with assertions for validation of received messages, logic controllers for adding conditional decision logic to the test plan, and listeners to collect and gather specific data. Configuration elements allow the easy configuration and customization of the sampler plug-ins. Test plans can be run simultaneously or sequentially. In both cases the generated network traffic is aggregated and displayed in real-time. By choosing any combination of specific listeners the data can be displayed in various formats: in tabular, diagrammatic, or as a hierarchical message tree which information can be viewed as plain text, HTML, XML, or JSON formatted data.
