robot-nps

Robot NPS is a Network Protocol Simulator for Robot Framework.

Robot Framework is a system-testing framework, originally developed primarily by Pekka Klarck at Nokia Siemens Networks. It provides a simple language for writing tests, a range of libraries for different test features, and a standard protocol for so-called remote servers.

This project implements a remote server that simulates both client and server sides of various application-layer network protocols, including financial order entry and market data protocols. In combination with Robot Framework, tests can be written to exercise applications using these protocols.

Features

• Enables easy simulation of message-oriented application protocols.
• Supports simulation of multiple peers (eg. client and server) within a single process.
• Supports distributed testing using multiple processes.
• Runs on Linux, OSX and Windows.
• Easily extended to support new protocols.
