Test Cases and Status
| # | Test Case | Status | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Successful design of CST, Service Profile and Slice Profile Templates |
| ||||
| 2 | Successful design of NST, NSSTs (RAN, Core and Transport) |
| ||||
| 3 | Service instantiation via CSMF portal which involves RAN, Core and Transport sub-nets (RAN NSSMF within ONAP). It should result in a new NSI and new NSSIs to be created for all sub-nets. (Option 1) |
| ||||
| 4 | Service instantiation via CSMF portal which involves RAN, Core and Transport sub-nets (RAN NSSMF outside ONAP). It should result in a new NSI and new NSSIs to be created for all sub-nets. (Option 2) |
| ||||
| 5 | Service instantiation via CSMF portal which involves RAN, Core and Transport sub-nets (RAN NSSMF within ONAP). It should result in existing NSSI to be reused at least for 1 subnet. (Option 1) |
| ||||
| 6 | Service instantiation via CSMF portal which involves RAN, Core and Transport sub-nets (RAN NSSMF outside ONAP). It should result in existing NSSI to be reused for RAN sub-net and transport subnet (e.g., FH). (Option 2) |
| ||||
| 7 | Service instantiation via CSMF portal which involves RAN, Core and Transport sub-nets (RAN NSSMF within ONAP). It should result in existing NSI to be reused (Option 1) |
| ||||
| 8 | Service instantiation via CSMF portal which involves RAN, Core and Transport sub-nets (RAN NSSMF outside ONAP). It should result in existing NSI to be reused. (Option 2) |
| ||||
| 79 | Service activation from CSMF portal – resulting in slice service activation |
| ||||
| 810 | Service de-activation from CSMF portal – resulting in slice service deactivation |
| ||||
| 911 | Service termination from CSMF portal (remove service profile/slice profile from NSI/NSSI only) |
| ||||
| 1012 | Service termination (terminate NSI/NSSI also) |
| ||||
| 1113 | Service instantiation request via ExtAPI (using postman) - resulting in new NSI to be instantiated (similar to test case 3) |
| ||||
| 1214 | Service instantiation request via ExtAPI (using postman) - resulting in reuse of existing NSI (similar to test case 5) |
| ||||
| 1315 | Service activation request via ExtAPI (using postman) - resulting in slice service activation |
| ||||
| 1416 | Service de-activation via ExtAPI (using postman) - resulting in slice service deactivation |
| ||||
| 1517 | Service termination via ExtAPI (using postman) - (remove service profile/slice profile from NSI/NSSI only) |
| ||||
| 1618 | KPI Monitoring request to be sent from UUI |
| ||||
| 1719 | KPI Monitoring response to be displayed on UUI |
| ||||
| 1820 | Simple closed loop for NSI/NSSI resource optimization (RRM Policy update) (stretch goal) |
