Systems and methods for testing and analyzing controller-based networks

摘要

A computer-implemented method may include identifying a controller-based network. The controller-based network may include a controller that enables centralized management of a flow of packets among devices by providing a centralized control plane for the controller-based network. The method may further include receiving a test scenario that includes at least one trigger capable of causing a fault in the controller-based network. The method may also include receiving an automation template having at least one test parameter for utilizing the centralized control plane to execute the test scenario in the controller-based network. The method may additionally include using the centralized control plane to automatically execute the test scenario on the controller-based network in accordance with the test parameter. Various other apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
