Ixia offers across the board IP test automation. Ixia's complete suite of interactive test applications provide the GUI, displays and analysis tools necessary to quickly develop a conformance, functional or performance test for any layer 2-7 device. Most Ixia applications, with the push of a button, generate a Tcl- or C-based test script that can be used immediately or modified for iteration and integration with other tests. Because all Ixia applications run on a single platform and the APIs from applications are compatible, scripts from multiple applications may be easily combined. In addition, Ixia's ICE team (Ixia Custom Engineering) has written hundreds of Tcl scripts that may be used and adapted by our registered customers.
Ixia's Test Conductor is a complete IP test automation and regression framework for Ixia and third-party test applications. Tests can be organized into test groupings and used for development, QA and regression testing.
IxAutomate offers over 90 prebuilt tests for IP test automation that cover routing and switching, Carrier Ethernet, Triple Play, firewall and multicast tests. IxAutomate's batch scheduler allows any number of its tests to be scheduled for execution.

Test Conductor - a test and regression framework that facilitates the development of DUT and test bed configuration, tests and regression suites. Powerful reporting and trend analysis tools are available. Test Conductor has additional close integration with IxAutomate and the following four other Ixia test applications.
IxAutomate - equipped with tests for routing and switching, Carrier Ethernet, Triple Play, firewall and multicast. A batch scheduler is included.
IxNetwork - layer 2/3 testing for network routers and switches.
IxLoad - layer 4-7 testing for Triple Play networks and servers.
IxANVL - conformance tests across the broad range of IP protocols.
IxChariot - performance testing for IP networks and systems.
ICE (Ixia Custom Engineering) - the ICE team has prepared hundreds of Tcl scripts that cover the broad range of layer 2-7 testing. Scripts can be used as-is, or as the basis for further customization.
Ixia Platform (Chassis/Load Modules) - the Ixia chassis and load modules used to generate line-rate traffic and capture results.
