摘要： A process of implementing a test plan for an IP-based telephony network. The process consists initially of installing a system test module as an integral component of the network-based system, whereby test procedures originate within the network-based system, employing system resources rather than outside components to accomplish testing. Further steps are assembling a set of generic functional tests, each test including the components of test elements, each element addressing a single system action, together with verification for completion of such action; test legs, each leg encompassing the actions of a single actor in the test and including interactions between such actors; and a test activity, setting out a single function to be accomplished by the test and combining the functions of one or more test legs, including the interactions among the same. Then the system proceeds by determining the network resources to be tested at a given time, including automatically determining the overall configuration of the network under test, to the extent possible; adding information required to complete the system configuration; building a system model of the network under test; integrating user input regarding system permissions and capabilities; user schedule considerations; and user test standards. Finally, the process concludes by executing the test plan, including the steps of allocating network resources required for test; balancing efficient testing considerations against resource constraints; determining availability of allocated resources; locking resources while in use; and iterating until all required resources have been tested.
