End-to-End Call Flow Validation of BP

Brief of the Call Flow Validation Feature Project

The E2E Call Flow Validation project would validate Uses Cases defined in a BP based on the standard based messages, APIs, and any other external interfaces published by the BP. This project would have emulators to simulate other per nodes to exercise the System Under Test BP. Since current and upcoming Akraino releases are targeting Application BPs like Network Nodes, VNF, etc. it is important to test Inter Operability between them to ensure that e2e uses cases are met. This would help the end-user of these BPs to determine the functionality and maturity of a BP. Having clear validation of these kinds of call flows would increase adoption of the BP, hence user acceptance. Moreover, Infrastructure level KPIs collected for the BPs would be more relevant if they are done for real use case-specific traffic data. This project also analyzes the execution data and generates various analytics. The analytic insights help in debugging by identifying expected/published interface specifications and actual. Some standard test cases will be provided as part by the project team, additional test cases can be developed by the BP team members very easily. The Test Case format is based on Opensource declarative language called BDD, which is English like, hence it is understandable by anyone with some domain knowledge of the BP
