TestComposer Overview

TestComposer is a plugin integrated into IxLoad that permits the creation of complex multi-step test scripts integrating Event Scheduler events, DUT configuration commands, local or external procedure calls, and flow control instructions that permit branching the script flow based on a step result evaluation.

Test scripts created using the TestComposer plugin support multiple simultaneous connections to test devices that can be configured using a variety of protocol interfaces: Telnet, TL1, SSH1/SSH2/SSHAuto, CmdTool, TclSh, Raw, COM, CSVAnalyzer, IxEmail and Reporter.

In addition to these protocol interfaces, TestComposer scripts also support a default session of the IxLoad type. For this default IxLoad session that is automatically created for every TestComposer script, a number of pre-configured events are available for configuring test ports, applying test configuration files, starting protocol traffic, launching tests, and retrieving test run results.
