Abstract
A system for integrated testing of one or more multi-service communications switches including a script execution environment for executing a test script. The script execution environment includes a hardware definition file storing a number of logical hardware device names corresponding to hardware devices used by the test script, including a system under test (SUT) and a number of hardware testing devices. The system further employs a network definition file including a plurality of logical connection names corresponding to connections between the hardware devices in the test environment. These connections in the network definition file are specified in terms of the logical hardware device names defined in the hardware definition file. The test script then refers to each of the hardware devices in the test environment using the logical hardware device names in the hardware definition file, and to the connections between the hardware devices using the logical connection names defined by the network definition file.
