Spirent Managed Solutions – Testing as a Service for 5G Core

• Complex infrastructure. Network functions must be integrated with services chaining across multiple organizations including transport, mobile, IT, developers, and operations.
  

• Visibility constraints. Inconsistent tools from engineering, development, labs, and operations limit the ability to identify, isolate and resolve faults.
  

• Expertise shortage. Broad skillsets are needed, with deep knowledge requirements, in a fast-paced setting of technology, standards and architectures.
  

• New testing requirements. Continuous testing (CT), to rapidly validate new virtual network functions (VNF), cloud-native network functions (CNF) releases and supporting cloud infrastructure (VNFI) are needed.
  

• Time pressures. New services must get to market faster to meet business objectives. Resource constraints slow testing cycles.
  

• Lack of test automation platform. Development teams cannot develop software applications without a comprehensive validation environment to ensure test cases produce reliable results.
