Summary:A method, computer program product, and system for non-disruptive integrated testing of network infrastructure is provided. A computer processor on a first network interface device that performs a set of tests on a network cable of a network infrastructure, a first end of the network cable is connected to the first network interface device of a host system, and a second end of the network cable is connected to a second network interface device. The computer processor suspends performance of the set of tests, in response to network activity requests received by the first network interface device. The computer processor resumes performance of the set of tests, in response to completion of the network activity. The computer processor stores results of the set of tests in compartmentalized memory, and the computer processor generates a report including the results of the set of tests.
