Impaired-Network Emulator

Validate Experience, Interruptions and Recovery

NetAccura WE-101 emulates impaired networks for apps, real-time media and games. Apply delay, loss, rate limits and outages to real traffic to validate user experience, reconnection, recovery and version regression.

Impaired-Network Scenario Orchestration

Build Network Changes into Your Tests

  • Set delay, loss, bandwidth and duration by stage
  • Combine degradation, brief outages and recovery
  • Save and loop scenarios to reuse the same network conditions

Application Testing under Impaired Networks

Test the Actions That Matter to Users

Run real applications under the same network conditions and compare versions.

Apps and Mini Programs

Check critical application workflows under impaired network conditions.

  • Initial Load, Login and API Timeouts
  • Uploads, Downloads and Resumable Transfers

Real-Time Media and Live Streaming

Validate the effects of network variation on playback and real-time calls.

  • Playback Startup, Stalls and Bitrate Switching
  • Call Quality and Reconnection

Games and Real-Time Interaction

Check interaction under delay, loss and brief outages.

  • State Synchronization and Input Response
  • Reconnection and Session Recovery

Cloud Desktops and Remote Collaboration

Evaluate remote operation with limited bandwidth.

  • Image Quality and Input Response
  • File Transfer and Session Continuity

From Reproducing Issues to Regression Testing

Reuse Scenarios for Repeatable Validation

01

Recreate the Conditions of a Problem

Rebuild the network environment using the delay, loss and bandwidth observed when the issue occurred.

02

Save Regression Scenarios

Preserve network settings and their sequence so new versions undergo the same tests.

03

Integrate with Automated Testing

Switch scenarios through the REST API and run them alongside application test scripts.
