Enterprise Network Testing: Testing Throughout the Network Lifecycle to Maximize Availability and Performance

Chapter 8. Design Verification Testing Case Study

This chapter covers the following topics:

• Background for the Design Verification Testing Case Study

• High-Level Design for Blue Ridge University MPLS Backbone

• Low-Level Design for Blue Ridge University MPLS Backbone

• Low-Level Design Verification Test Strategy

Design verification testing is an integral part of the enterprise architectural process, and is often the last chance for designers and architects to “get it right” before a network rollout begins. Testing is crucial when device configuration templates are developed as part of the low-level design (LLD) and given to implementation engineers for provisioning network devices. With complex or large-scale deployments, there is often zero ...
