WHITE PAPER
VisionWorks for Lifecycle Service Assurance
As providers adopt virtualization and the technologies it enables such as 5G and IoT, they need to rapidly deploy testing and assurance solutions to address specific needs. Providers must have the flexibility to perform testing and assurance anywhere in the network, at any layer of the protocol stack. New testing and assurance applications need to be deployed in days instead of weeks or months. The applications should be constructed from best-in-breed components that interface with leading open-source initiatives. Perhaps most importantly, the industry needs an ecosystem that collaborates to deliver a rich library of virtual tests based on common, well-defined interfaces.
