Configuration of a simulator for testing a wireless device in a network environment including multiple wireless devices is facilitated by receiving as input an indication of devices to be connected to a simulator for test and an indication of at least one channel model to be applied to an identified link, and using that input to calculate settings for function elements which modify signals to implement simulated effects defined by the channel model. The calculations are performed while a test is running, thereby avoiding delays associated with playback tests. Allocation of simulator paths and function elements are automated, and an indication of how the wireless devices are to be connected to the simulator is provided to the user. Further, an interface allows the user to select a transition duration which defines the period over which transition from a first channel model to a second channel model for a selected link takes place, and also a transition function which defines the relative influence of the first and second channel models for the period over which transition takes place.
