Solution Detail
Pre-Release Automated Impairment Regression
ChaosBridge WAN Emulator + BestPerf Network Quality Measurement
Add common impairments, field fault profiles and key PCAPs to automated pipelines so every release undergoes network resilience testing.

Why
Requirements
Apps, media, cloud and edge services may pass on ideal office networks yet fail with regional paths, delay, jitter, loss, DNS variation and mobile handovers. Without pre-release impairment regression, users encounter these failures first.
ChaosBridge supplies scenarios, BestPerf supplies quality gates, Traffic Generation supplies production PCAPs and Flow Hunter supplies session/protocol evidence, making impairment testing a regular CI/CD stage.

How
Implementation
2
Integrate with CI/CD
Switch scenarios through APIs, launch automated application cases and run BestPerf measurement tasks as quality gates.
3
Replay Critical Production Traffic
Replay PCAPs that previously triggered faults to check whether new versions handle the same anomalies.
4
Automatically Retain Failed-Test Evidence
When cases fail or quality drops below thresholds, export the related sessions and PCAPs from Flow Hunter for diagnosis.

Core Emulation Equipment
Optional Supporting Tools
Network Quality Measurement Software
BestPerf
Actively measure RTT, directional loss, jitter, micro-outages, TCP goodput and quality under load to establish link baselines.
NetAccura Traffic Generation
NetAccura Traffic Generation
Generate L2-L3 test streams. Software models also replay Ethernet PCAPs, rewrite IPv4 addresses and TCP/UDP ports, and multiply traffic for performance, security detection and issue reproduction. Stop all transmit tasks before switching modes. Simultaneous generation and replay require separate devices.
Network Traffic Analyzer
Flow Hunter
Capture passively through mirrored ports or TAPs for L2-L7 analysis, session investigation, protocol-stage diagnosis and PCAP export.
Result
Expected Outcomes
Find Network Resilience Issues before Release
Trigger production-like failures during testing to reduce post-release complaints and rollbacks.
Add Field Faults to Regression Libraries
Turn each incident's quality profile and captures into long-term test assets.
Produce Reviewable Reports and Evidence
Deliver more than throughput or delay figures: include topology, parameters, timelines, quality curves, key sessions, anomalies, PCAP extracts and retest results. Development, testing, operations, vendors and customers can discuss the same evidence rather than relying on screenshots, verbal descriptions and repeated debate.
