Systems and methods are disclosed herein to provide communication test systems for the testing of packet data communication devices, systems and networks. According to one aspect of the subject matter described herein, a test system containing an integrated traffic, protocol and waveform analyzer is disclosed that includes a traffic generator/analyzer and a protocol engine that triggers a waveform analyzer to analyze the signal waveform of a device under test at a predetermined point. Such a test system may offer improved capabilities such as a more selective and accurate measurement of complex signal waveforms, more automated measurements of waveforms pertaining to wireless communication data streams, and more rapid identification and measurement of waveforms corresponding to errored packets.

Systems and methods for using protocol information to trigger waveform analysis

According to one aspect, the disclosed subject matter describes herein a system that includes a mobile robotic platform for navigating within a coverage area associated with an access point belonging to a communications network under test, wherein the mobile robotic platform includes a client device emulation module configured to emulate multiple client devices that are wirelessly connected to the access point and to send emulated test traffic data to the access point from each of the emulated client devices via a wireless connection. The mobile robotic platform also includes a real client device that includes a client application configured to communicate simulated test traffic data to the access point via an established wireless connection and a performance metrics module configured to determine wireless communication performance metrics associated with the wireless connection between the access point and at least one of the real client device or the emulated client devices.
