SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DYNAMICALLY TESTING NETWORKED TARGET SYSTEMS
A method and system for conducting performance hybrid traffic testing of a networked target system (NTS) are disclosed. The method comprises initializing at least one private cloud source (PRCS) to generate traffic within a private network security system (PRNSS); initializing at least one public cloud source (PUCS) to generate traffic outside of the PRNSS; customizing the traffic within the PRNSS and the traffic outside of the PRNSS; gathering information respective of the performance of the at least one PUCS and the at least one PRCS; and generating a performance testing report respective of the gathered information.
1 . A method for conducting performance testing of a networked target system (NTS), comprising:
initializing at least one private cloud source (PRCS) to generate traffic within a private network security system (PRNSS);
initializing at least one public cloud source (PUCS) to generate traffic outside of the PRNSS;
customizing the traffic within the PRNSS and the traffic outside of the PRNSS;
gathering information respective of the performance of the at least one PUCS and the at least one PRCS; and
generating a performance testing report respective of the gathered information.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the gathered information comprises at least statistical data respective of the performance of the at least one PUCS and the at least one PRCS.
3 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
aggregating the statistical data; and
calculating at least one performance testing metric based on the aggregated statistical data.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one performance testing metric is one any of: an estimated maximum capacity, at least one error received during testing, a throughput of a system under test, and a response time.
5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving at least one testing parameter respective of the NTS.
6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the at least one testing parameter is any one of:
an amount of traffic to be generated within the PRNSS, an amount of traffic to be generated outside of the PRNSS, and information to be gathered during testing
7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein customizing the traffic within the PRNSS and the traffic outside of the PRNSS is at least based on the testing parameter.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein customizing the traffic within the PRNSS and the traffic outside of the PRNSS is based on at least a user requirement.
9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the user requirement is any one of: a total volume of traffic, a volume of traffic within the PRNSS, a volume of traffic outside of the PRNSS, and a time to generate traffic.
10 . A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for causing one or more processing units to execute the method according to claim 1 .
11 . A system for conducting performance testing of a networked target system (NTS), comprising:
a processing system; and
a memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processing system, configure the system to:
initialize at least one private cloud source (PRCS) to generate traffic within a private network security system (PRNSS);
initialize at least one public cloud source (PUCS) to generate traffic outside of the PRNSS;
customize the traffic within the PRNSS and the traffic outside of the PRNSS;
gather information respective of the performance of the at least one PUCS and the at least one PRCS; and
generate a performance testing report respective of the gathered information.
12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the gathered information comprises at least statistical data respective of the performance of the at least one PUCS and the at least one PRCS.
13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the system is further configured to:
aggregate the statistical data; and
calculate at least one performance testing metric based on the aggregated statistical data.
14 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the at least one performance testing metric is any of: an estimated maximum capacity, at least one error received during testing, a throughput of a system under test, and a response time.
15 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the system is further configured to:
receive at least one testing parameter respective of the NTS.
16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the at least one testing parameter is any of: an amount of traffic to be generated within the PRNSS, an amount of traffic to be generated outside of the PRNSS, and information to be gathered during testing.
17 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the customization of the traffic within the PRNSS and the traffic outside of the PRNSS is based on at least the testing parameter.
18 . The system of claim 11 , wherein customization of traffic within the PRNSS and the traffic outside of the PRNSS is based on at least a user requirement.
19 . The system of claim 18 , wherein the user requirement is any one of: a total volume of traffic, a volume of traffic within the PRNSS, a volume of traffic outside of the PRNSS, and a time to generate traffic.
