Abstract

An automated network testing platform may comprise a network testing server. The network testing server may receive a first input that characterizes a customer network for which a network test is to be performed. Further, the network testing server may receive a second input representative of the type of network test to be performed. Responsive to receiving the first and the second input the network testing server may identify a test point that is available to execute the network test. Upon identifying the available test point, the network testing server may reconfigure the available test point into the customer network. Further, the network testing server may instruct the reconfigured test point to execute the network test. Once the network test is completed, the network testing server may receive the test results from the reconfigured test point, analyze and interpret the test results, and present the test results to a user.
