Verify Automated Network Behavior

Operators are moving toward autonomous networks to manage cloud-native, disaggregated 5G infrastructure at a scale manual operations cannot support, while meeting strict service-level agreements (SLAs) and reducing operating costs. Progress along the TM Forum maturity model, from manual operations (Level 0) to full autonomy (Level 5), adds automation, AI/ML-driven decisions, and multi-domain orchestration. Each level introduces new risks: automating errors without validation, reinforcing wrong AI decisions, and degrading customer experience through opaque automation. Before advancing, operators need proof that capabilities at the current level perform as intended, yet homegrown tools often lack repeatability and cannot correlate test, assurance, and orchestration events.

The validation workflow spans lab, staging, and live operations. Teams first establish performance baselines and use traffic generation, fault injection, and regression testing to confirm automated provisioning and fault handling. Event-driven workflows require end-to-end checks across domain boundaries. When AI/ML enters closed loops, teams must test model accuracy, false-positive rates, drift, and CNF resiliency using synthetic anomalies. High autonomy requires stress testing multi-domain orchestration across RAN, core, transport, and cloud, measuring latency, jitter, slice elasticity, and SLA adherence. In live networks, continuous testing and closed-loop assurance must confirm that corrective actions restore service, supported by safe rollback, compliance checks, and staged releases.

Trusted Autonomous Network Assurance Solution

Keysight provides a vendor-neutral validation layer that confirms automation, AI, and closed loops deliver trusted outcomes from lab to live across RAN, core, cloud, and transport. Core and mobility traffic emulation validates EPC and 5G core functions, policies, and orchestration in lab and staging. Lab automation and regression testing integrate continuous testing into CI/CD pipelines. CNF/VNF resiliency validation tests cloud-native workloads under dynamic conditions, and security and threat emulation confirms network self-protection. In live networks, Keysight active service assurance, including the VisionWorks Service Assurance Platform, uses virtual test agents to emulate user services, measure latency, jitter, and SLA fulfillment, and feed validated data to orchestration and AI platforms to verify closed-loop remediation. Operators using this approach have automatically diagnosed 80% of trouble tickets and detected anomalies up to eight hours before outages.
