Proposal Number: 0435130PI: Nancy Griffeth Institution: CUNY Title: Experimentation Research to Investigate Principles of Network Interoperability Testing Abstract: It's hard to build a computer network that works as required. A network contains many components, many layers, many protocols, many kinds of equipment, and many technologies. Despite the difficulty of building networks, businesses and individuals rely on networks for commerce, information, and entertainment, requiring them to be correct, efficient, reliable, and secure. This project asks how to test networks for correct interoperation of their components. The first goal of the project is to develop the fundamental principles of network testing. The second goal is to use these principles to develop cost-effective testing methodology and tools.The principles of network interoperability testing must help a tester answers the questions: What test cases are most cost-effective? How many test cases must be run? This project seeks the answers to these two questions in the context of two approaches to testing, formal modeling and genetic algorithms. The approaches are being studied experimentally in the Lehman College networking laboratory, using equipment typical of enterprise networks. Results will include evaluation of network modeling techniques and tools. They will provide methodology, algorithms, and tools for generating and executing test cases. The results will be disseminated through presentations at conferences, papers in academic journals, and making tools available to industry test labs.The impact of the project will be to reduce the cost and improve the quality of network testing. It will also improve understanding of how to build testable networks. It will help to build future networks that are more efficient, reliable, and secure.

提案编号：0435130PI： Nancy Griffeth机构： CUNY 职务名称：网络互操作性测试原理的实验研究摘要：建立一个按要求工作的计算机网络是很困难的。 网络包含许多组件、许多层、许多协议、许多种类的设备和许多技术。尽管构建网络很困难，但企业和个人依赖网络进行商业、信息和娱乐，要求网络正确、高效、可靠和安全。 这个项目询问如何测试网络的组件的正确互操作性。 该项目的第一个目标是制定网络测试的基本原则。 第二个目标是使用这些原则来开发成本有效的测试方法和工具。网络互操作性测试的原则必须帮助测试人员回答以下问题：什么样的测试用例是最成本有效的？必须运行多少个测试用例？ 该项目寻求这两个问题的答案，在两种方法的背景下进行测试，正式建模和遗传算法。 这些方法正在雷曼学院网络实验室进行实验研究，使用典型的企业网络设备。结果将包括网络建模技术和工具的评估。 他们将提供生成和执行测试用例的方法、算法和工具。 研究结果将通过在会议上的演讲、在学术期刊上发表论文以及向行业测试实验室提供工具等方式进行传播。该项目的影响将是降低网络测试的成本并提高网络测试的质量。 它还将提高对如何构建可测试网络的理解。 它将有助于构建更高效、可靠和安全的未来网络。
