Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods and apparatus for continuous integration testing of network access devices. A testing platform includes a virtual environmental library and a processor. The processor executes a test code, where the test code in cooperation with the virtual environmental library generates a virtual environment for testing a network access device loaded with a device code, the virtual environment includes virtual clients, a virtual service provider, and emulates communication interfaces and network message behavior for the virtual clients and the virtual service provider as perceived by the network access device, exercises the device code and the network access device by instructing the virtual clients and the virtual service provider to engage the network access device to perform defined activities, captures events in response to performance of the defined activities, evaluates the captured events against expected events, and outputs results including the captured events and pass/fail determinations.
