Network function configurator and test generator

Abstract

A network function configuration and test generation framework are configured to generate a test script indicative of a configuration and test cases for verifying a virtual function implemented in a virtualized computing environment. A test input is received that encodes information for verifying a network function. The information includes identification of a test tool, a target testbed for testing the network function, and network information including parameters for network conditions to be operational during testing of the network function. A data parser translates and formats the test input. The formatted test input in input to a topology discoverer configured to identify a network topology of the testbed and which network functions deployed on the testbed are emulated and which network functions deployed on the testbed are real. A configuration generator generates a configuration file usable to configure applicable network functions and their functionalities.
