Behavior-driven tests

One of the main advantages of IBM® Telco Network Cloud Manager - Orchestration is that it has inbuilt behaviour driven test tools. This allows you to automatically run VNF and Network Services though their entire lifecycle.

As part of testing, you can for example instantiate a Network Service and a traffic generator to generate traffic that is required for the tests or instantiate additional probes that are needed for monitoring purposes. You can create many test scenarios such as scale-in and out, heal, or other scenarios. The test can be run manually or automatically as part of a CI/CD pipeline.

Once you have the design ready for your VNF and/or Network Service, you can go to the Behaviour Driven Test section by clicking the “Behaviour Testing” tab at the bottom of the design canvas.
