APPC interacts with other external systems such as A&AI & VNFAAF. This analysis will not test the APPC independently rather it will test it along with its dependents so there may occur an error correction due to network bandwidth or dependent system availability.
The other system APPC dependent on is VNF. For this testing we use Mock VNF (Dummy VNF). This requires doing the installation of the VNF package in Windriver lab.
The code for Mock VNF is at Mock VNF. This VNF is supports only NETCONF Protocol and all the Performance testing is done for NETCONF API's.
The next plan will include ANSIBLE & CHEF Protocol testing.
Tools Used:
This testing process will use Jmeter to create concurrent request and increase the load on APPC gradually.The Profiler tool Visual VM is used to monitor the GC, Threads.
