Operations

One of the main advantages of the orchestration component is that it has inbuilt behavior 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 Behavior Driven Test section by clicking the Behavior Testing tab down the design canvas.
