Validate any cloud from a single installation

Mobileum’s NFVI (Network Function Virtualization Infrastructure) Testing Suite is an open system designed to be the central point of an organization’s automated testing of NFVI for both VM-based and Container-based Network Functions that can be easily integrated into existing test environments via the RESTful Application Programming Interface.

The solution comes with a set of pre-integrated Test Suites called Parent Test Suites that can be used to test from the first installation or be the starting point of a customized Test Suite. Each configuration is a new test case that allows an “infinite” number of Test Cases. Depending on license agreements multiple clouds can be benchmarked/tested from a single installation.
NFVI Testing Use Cases and Test Areas

Emulation of VNF/CNF behavior on NFVI

The test scenarios use Industry Benchmarks with 200 Essential KPls. If all KPI SLAs are fulfilled, the NFVI will be able to properly support any VNF or CNF. It comes with Pre-set Test Suites and Test Cases, which can be added many times to a test suite with different configurations. br />
. The main features:
  • Creation of test suites, including test case configuration.
  • Execution of test suites, including execution, scheduling, and queueing.
  • Test Report management: Presentation, Search, Compare, Storage, Archiving, Export, and Import.
  • User notification of test results.
  • Test environment management.
  • Support for parallel test teams.
  • APIs for Test Workflow and CI/CD/CT pipeline integration.
  • HW expansion testing

Combined infrastructure and packet core testing

dsTouch is a combined solution of Mobileum’s dsTest and VoerEir Touchstone, able to simultaneously test and stress both the NFVI and the packet core, ensuring CNF-to-Infrastructure compatibility by identifying and resolving issues before deployment using automated testing and validation for 5G CNFs and infrastructure, which are crucial for CSPs and vendors to deploy high-quality services, preventing costly outages and potential brand damage.

This integrated, 100% software-based system delivers comprehensive testing throughout the entire lifecycle of your network, whether on OpenStack, Kubernetes, private, or public clouds.

Optimized 5G with cloud-integrated testing

dsTouch integrates with cloud environments like Kubernetes (K8s) and OpenStack to enable dynamic telecom network testing. Through the North Bound Interface (NBI), the Test Engine interacts with K8s or OpenStack to create Test Agents (TAs) as tenants in Pods or Virtual Machines, simulating network conditions. TAs are erased post-test, ensuring resource efficiency .

The platform enables thorough testing of new functions while stressing the Network Function Virtualization infrastructure (NFVi) to assess real-world performance. Results are displayed on the dsTouch NFVi Dashboard for analysis and can be integrated into CI/CD/CT pipelines, streamlining continuous testing. Detailed comparisons help optimize infrastructure and refine test setups, supporting high-quality voice and packet core services through multiple test iterations.
