Telecom software systems are a major aspect of telecommunications networks used formanaging, administrating, auditing and monitoring purposes. One of the most significant features is theperformance of the telecom software system, since there is a great variety of network elements in usewithin built systems through which the telecom software interacts. Workload characterization is anessential methodology for simulating load usage for a given infrastructure that is exposed to aproduction environment. Hence, exploring the characteristics of workloads well leads an increase onsystem efficiency and performance. Nevertheless, workload characterization has not been wellexamined yet for Telecom Software System. In this paper, a new workload characterization architectureis proposed and implemented to model the workload and simulate the behavior of the network element.This architecture provides information regarding the accuracy of the workload models for more preciseperformance testing. Additionally, we verify our workload characterization results obtained from ourarchitecture in a real software system. Performance results show that proposed workload model-basedsimulation environment is promising to predict the performance of the software systems.
