In a network management system, an application program simulates provisioning operations and other network events in a communications network. The network management system may receive a selection of live network elements to be utilized in a simulated provisioning operation and provisioning instructions. The network management system may then flag the selected live network elements as simulated network elements which may be logical representations of their physical counterparts. The network management system may then execute the provisioning instructions on the simulated network elements to simulate the provisioning of the live network elements. The network management may also receive a selection of live network elements and/or element management systems to be utilized in simulating network events. The network management system may then flag the selected live network elements and/or element management systems and generate the network events based on received event data.
