Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: identifying a peak interval traffic intensity for requests for visual voicemail (VVM) services in a network, wherein the peak interval traffic intensity in the network occurs when a number of requests for the VVM services is highest over a predetermined interval; identifying a plurality of user devices available for implementing scalability testing, wherein scalability testing identifies scalability of network performance of the VVM services to high transaction volumes; identifying a number of requests for VVM services during a prospective time for scalability testing in the network; determining a number of additional requests for VVM services from the plurality of user devices that approximates the peak interval traffic intensity during the prospective time for scalability testing in the network; determining instructions for at least one of the plurality of user devices to provide the determined number of additional requests; and sending the determined instructions to the at least one of the plurality of user devices.
