Abstract:
In order to provide high reliable network services for a large number of users, an ideal network test is required to guarantee end-to-end connection for any pair of clients with a failure of any link. However, the time and human resources that can be dedicated to the test are limited, which prevents such an ideal test. In this paper, we propose a method to reduce the number of network failure test cases by focusing on “similarity” among test cases. We leverage topological similarity for the purpose, formulate a problem of minimizing the number of test cases, and conduct simulation experiments to show the effectiveness.
