# Connectivity Test

Connectivity Test in Google Cloud is a Network Intelligence Center tool that verifies and diagnoses network connectivity between two endpoints. It simulates packet flow across your Google Cloud and hybrid networks, identifying configuration or routing issues. This helps ensure that network paths are correctly set up and that traffic can reach its intended destination securely and efficiently.
