An automated testing method and device for security gateway performance

Abstract

Embodiments of the invention disclose a method and a device for automated testing of security gateway performance. The method comprises the following steps of receiving an expected value and test parameters, which are input by a user, for security gateway performance testing, and determining target equipment under test from a plurality of equipment under test according to the test parameters; receiving a test command of a commercial test instrument and testing the target equipment under test according to the test command in order to obtain a test result; and comparing the test result and the expected value, if the test result does not meet the expected value, testing the target equipment under test again according to the test command after flow regulation is carried out on the current network. Through reception of the test parameters, the target equipment under test can be automatically determined; the test command of the commercial test instrument is combined, so that the equipment testing can be automatically carried out and the automatic continuous testing of a plurality of test cases is realized; and furthermore, the test result and the expected value which is input by the userare automatically compared, and the retesting is automatically carried out, so that the expectation of the performance testing is met, and the human intervention is not needed, and thus the test efficiency is greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiment of the present invention relates to the technical field of network testing, and in particular to an automatic testing method and device for security gateway performance. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the development of next-generation Internet technology, an interconnected network infrastructure platform based on IPv4 / IPv6 protocol has been preliminarily formed around the world. Years of practice have shown that the existing Internet is unable to support high-performance video applications. If you do not use effective network performance measurement tools, conduct effective measurements and a large number of application tests in the early stage to find the transmission bottleneck that restricts high bandwidth and high service quality, and take end-to-end service quality assurance measures to optimize network bandwidth resources based on the measurement test results , such applications cannot be successful.

Problems solved by technology

If you do not use effective network performance measurement tools, conduct effective measurements and a large number of application tests in the early stage to find the transmission bottleneck that restricts high bandwidth and high service quality, and take end-to-end service quality assurance measures to optimize network bandwidth resources based on the measurement test results , such applications are not successful

[0003] Due to the continuous upgrading of DUT (Device Under Test, equipment under test) hardware in the current performance test, the performance is getting stronger and stronger, and the requirements for simulation test equipment are also getting higher and higher. In the past, software stress testing tools were used. As the cost is getting higher and higher, the subsequent follow-up of commercial test instruments has solved the workload of management and configuration brought about by multi-server cluster deployment. At the same time, there are also problems with commercial instruments, which are GUI (Graphical User Interface, Graphical User Interface) limitations. and the limitations of customization

[0004] In the process of realizing the embodiment of the present invention, the inventor found that the existing security gateway performance testing method is limited by the use of commercial testing instruments, cannot automatically execute multiple test cases, and requires human intervention, which greatly reduces the testing efficiency
