Methods, systems, and computer readable media for providing intent-driven microapps for execution on communications network testing devices

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and computer readable media for providing intent-driven microapps for execution on communications network testing devices. A method includes receiving a configuration definition specifying a user-declared intent for testing a communications network. The method includes accessing a catalog of intents and determining, based on one or more entries in the catalog of intents matching the configuration definition specifying the user-declared intent, one or more applications from a repository of network testing or visibility applications and at least one configuration file. The method includes installing the one or more applications on a network testing device and configuring the one or more applications using the configuration file, causing the network testing device to test the communications network and to fulfill the user-declared intent specified in the configuration definition.
