  Abstract

Network functions virtualization (NFV) is a network architecture offering operators a highly flexible and scalable infrastructure for network services. The network functions of an NFV network are implemented and executed on common servers. There is an increasing tendency for information technology companies to use containerized technology to develop their service products. Therefore, they need a new method to automate testing container-based network services to accelerate the verification speed and reduce network service development cost. There is also a need for automatic function testing and performance evaluation of container-based network services in production environments. In this paper, we propose an automation testing framework for container-based network services. By implementing and testing the proposed framework, we show that the proposed framework provides a comprehensive solution covering conformance, interoperability, and performance testing.
