Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for background testing of communications or storage network equipment are provided. One method includes receiving a control plane definition from a user. The control plane definition may specify emulated network equipment and network protocols run by the emulated network equipment. The method further includes, after receiving the control plane definition, automatically performing at least one background test during an idle time period by sending traffic from the emulated network equipment to at least one device under test and outputting results of the at least one background test to the user.
