Abstract/Presentation overview

While ETSI NFV is evolving with new features at a steady pace with the completion of Release 3 and the construction of Release 4, it is still necessary to test the evolved implementations in order to gauge the industry’s progress towards this new definition. With this in mind, ETSI held the NFV&MEC API Plugtests 2021 during the month of February 2021.

This was an unusual Plugtests event in the sense that no interoperability tests were executed, but rather the main goal was to allow participating organizations to self-asses the conformance of their API implementations with applicable NFV Specifications. This was achieved thanks to a test platform running the Robot Test Cases developed to automate NFV TST010 Conformance Test Specifications.

The event was held remotely and had over 30 participating organizations from many different locations. Approximately 3000 test cases were executed for multiple versions of the NFV-SOL specifications.
