1. A system for validating data transmitted over a network connection comprising: a server; one or more test clients attached to the server through a network connection; a library of test data patterns installed on each test client; and a test utility installed on each test client, wherein each test utility is configured to: (a) generate a data load on the network connection by repetitively writing blocks of test data patterns from a set of test data patterns from the library to a common data file on the server, (b) read blocks of data patterns from the common data file, (c) compare the blocks of data patterns read from the common data file to the blocks of test data patterns written to the common data file to detect data corruptions, and (d) generate debug information if a data corruption is detected.
