Abstract

One method occurs at a network test system implemented using at least one processor. The method includes receiving configuration information for configuring a network testing scenario comprising an emulated switching environment, wherein the configuration information includes topology information defining the emulated switching environment; configuring, using the configuration information, the emulated switching environment including allocating, using a switch application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) resource allocator, resources of at least one physical ASIC switch to multiple emulated switches; and configuring, using the configuration information, a test session for testing a system under test (SUT) using the emulated switching environment and a network visibility infrastructure for obtaining performance information associated with the test session.
