Protocol Engine

Advanced, Run-Time Environment

Overview

Valid8 Protocol Engine is Designed specifically for testing signaling systems such as telecommunications and network equipment, web applications and APIs, and appliances.

What we Can Do For You

Designed from the ground up to be browser controlled, the Linux-based Protocol Engine offers flexibility and versatility that is unmatched by rival
tools. The modern and responsive user interface provides control, scenario editing, remote access and sharing capabilities.
Call-flows can be modified, and integrated version control aids team driven development and testing.
Our open Cloud API allows complete integration into existing test automation environments"

Why we’re Different

Emulation capabilities excel at signaling and media

Valid8’s unique capabilities enable comprehensive product support from initial design and prototype, through testing and validation into production, accelerating time to market through reduced costs, training, and tool acquisition time while enabling knowledge sharing across groups.
Built-in data. audio and video capabilities allow tight integration into the test scenarios without offloading to a third-party. Message-based, with high levels of code transparency for end users
Unlike opaque, pre-compiled systems, the messages flow between the test scenario all way through to protocol stack to egress is visible to the user via the system trace, allowing detailed logging and diagnosis.

Designed to scale

Scale across cores and servers enable it to support anything from small single stack simulations to core network emulation

Configurable Parameters

Automation API

User commands can be fully automated using an HTTP API. This includes all control functions as well as collection of results and metrics. It can be integrated into any CI system including Jenkins, CircleCI, Gitlab and others. Our Autom8 Python framework is included to ease integration.

Scripting

The application can be edited directly in the browser using VTDL using Composer, a powerful development environment that includes error checking and a graphical view easing the creation and modification of scenarios. Codec Studio can be used to quickly build message templates from raw PDUs, as captured by tcpdump for example, to use in the scenarios.
