Generating a test environment for validating a network design

摘要

Generating a test environment includes accessing initial test environments for a network of nodes, where a test environment specifies a propagation or justification path for a node. The following are repeated until satisfactory coverage is achieved or until a predetermined number of iterations is reached. A coverage for each test environment is calculated, and at least two of the test environments are mated to generate next test environments, where the coverage of the at least two test environments is greater than the coverage of the other test environments.
