Method and apparatus for testing stability of game server

Abstract

Disclosed is a method for testing stability of a game server. The method for testing stability of a game server according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes: executing, by at least one virtual user, actions or scenarios that are a list of actions; generating at least one game packets required to execute the executed actions or the actions included in the executed scenarios according to game protocols of specific game contents; and transmitting the generated game packets to a game server.

1 . A method for testing stability of a game server, comprising:
 executing, by at least one virtual user, actions or scenarios that are a list of actions;   generating at least one game packets required to execute the actions or the actions included in the scenarios according to game protocols of specific game contents; and   transmitting the generated game packets to a game server.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 generating the game packets required to execute the given actions according to the game protocols of the specific game contents and loading another plug-in according to the game contents,   wherein the generating of the game packets is performed through the plug-in.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the plug-in is implemented by a DLL type. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 analyzing the game packets received from the game server according to the game protocols of the specific game contents.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 reconfiguring the game packets received from the game server in a protocol unit according to the game protocols.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 encrypting the generated game packets.   
     
     
         7 . A computer readable recording medium recording programs for executing the method for testing stability of a game server of  claim 1 . 
     
     
         8 . An apparatus for testing stability of a game server, comprising:
 a scenario scheduler executing scenarios that are a list of actions;   an action scheduler executing actions; and   a game packet processor generating at least one game packet required to execute the actions and the actions included in the scenarios according to game protocols of specific game contents and transmitting the generated game packets to a game server.   
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the game packet processor is implemented by another plug-in type according to the game contents. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein the game packet processor is implemented by a DLL type. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the game packet processor analyzes the game packets received from the game server according to the game protocols of the specific game contents. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the game packet processor includes:
 a game packet generator generating the at least one game packet according to the game protocols of the specific game contents; and   a game packet analyzer analyzing the game packets received from the game server according to the game protocols of the specific game contents.   
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the game packet processor further includes an MTU processor reconfiguring the game packets received from the game server in a protocol unit according to the game protocols. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 12 , wherein the game packet processor further includes an encryptor encrypting the generated game packets or decrypting the received game packets. 
     
     
         15 . An apparatus for testing stability of a game server, comprising:
 a plurality of virtual users generating game packets and transmitting the generated game packets to a game server; and   a virtual user controller issuing an action execution command or a scenario execution command in which actions are listed to the virtual users,   wherein each virtual user configuring the plurality of virtual users includes:   a scenario scheduler executing the scenarios;   an action scheduler executing the actions; and   a game packet processor generating at least one game packet required to execute the actions or the actions included in the scenarios according to game protocols of specific game contents and transmitting the generated game packets to the game server.   
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein the game packet processor is implemented by another plug-in type according to the game contents. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus of  claim 16 , wherein the game packet processor is implemented by a DLL type. 
     
     
         18 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein the game packet processor analyzes the game packets received from the game server according to the game protocols of the specific game contents.
