@inproceedings{4558, abstract = {{Programmability, control and flexibility can be considered as some of the indirect enablers for the success of 5G technologies. A key driver towards this are mechanisms or methodologies to drive shorter time to market for suppliers and operators of virtual network functions (VNFs) and network services. 5GTANGO includes a DevOps approach that can be utilized for the validation and verification (V&V) of VNFs and network services. In this paper, we elaborate further on the approaches made in the areas of testing, catalogues and package management as a means to enable that full DevOps V&V workflow. Finally, we explore the deployment requirement of the V&V via one of our pilot use cases.}}, author = {{Twamley, Peter and Muller, Marcel and Bok, Patrick-Beniamin and Xilouris, George K and Sakkas, Christos and Kourtis, Michail Alexandros and Peuster, Manuel and Schneider, Stefan Balthasar and Stavrianos, Panagiotis and Kyriazis, Dimosthenis}}, booktitle = {{2018 European Conference on Networks and Communications (EuCNC)}}, isbn = {{9781538614785}}, publisher = {{IEEE}}, title = {{{5GTANGO: An Approach for Testing NFV Deployments}}}, doi = {{10.1109/eucnc.2018.8442844}}, year = {{2018}}, }
