  text: "The ongoing softwarization of networks creates a big need for automated testing
    solutions to ensure service quality. This becomes even more important if agile
    environments with short time to market and high demands, in terms of service performance
    and availability, are considered.\r\nIn this paper, we introduce a novel testing
    solution for virtualized, microservice-based network functions and services, which
    we base on TTCN-3, a well known testing language defined by the European standards
    institute (ETSI). We use TTCN-3 not only for functional testing but also answer
    the question whether TTCN-3 can be used for  performance profiling tasks as well.
    Finally, we demonstrate the proposed concepts and solutions in a case study using
    our open-source prototype to test and profile a chained network service."
