A Test Management System for Operational Validation

Abstract

NMS (Network Management System) is a central monitoring system that can manage equipment on network environments. This should be used for efficient and centralized management of network equipment. On NMS, it enables the real-time transmission and monitoring of the data on states, problems, composition, and statistics of equipment that make a network. But we need to verify whether it works on operations or functions of NMS operations or not. To do this, this paper suggests a test management system for the efficient verification of NMS environments. In order to develop a test management system, requirements from each NMS shall be extracted, and designed and materialized based on them. The suggested system enables efficient test management, result analysis, and comparative verification of test versions.
