Install and configure Network Virtualization. For details, see Configure the integration.

Set up Network Virtualization integration in Digital Lab (on-premises)

You configure the Digital Lab server to work with Network Virtualization to enable Network Virtualization functionality on testing tools that are using Digital Lab. For details, see Set up Network Virtualization integration in Digital Lab.

Network Virtualization profiles are a set of network conditions to use during test runs. You can use one of the built-in profiles, or configure new profiles in NV Test Manager. For details, see Network Profiles.

Run tests with Network Virtualization

When you start your test, Network Virtualization applies the network conditions to the network traffic of the mobile device where the test is running. When the test is complete, network emulation stops.

Analyze results

While a test runs, Network Virtualization captures the mobile application traffic and saves it on the Network Virtualization machine.

After the test has completed, you can download and view the NV Analytics / NV Insights report in NV Test Manager. For details, see Download the NV Insights Report.

Perform exploratory testing with Network Virtualization

Using Digital Lab, you can perform exploratory testing with Network Virtualization to check your app's behavior on mobile devices.

You can then download the analysis results in the NV Analytics / NV Insights report, or as a HAR (HTTP Archive) file for testing with LoadRunner Cloud or LoadRunner Professional. For details, see Perform exploratory testing with Network Virtualization.
