ETSI EG 203 341

ETSI EG 203 341, “Approaches for Testing Adaptive Networks” defines a framework of testing principles andguidelines that may be used to test networks that exhibit some form of autonomic adaptive behaviour, which allowsthem to dynamically change their configuration, structure or operational parameters. The (re)-configuration isperformed in response to stimuli such as changes in workload, operator policies that govern their operation, context (thenetwork is context-aware and may have a degree of self-awareness); and challenges in the environment (i.e. conditionsunder which the network is operating, e.g. manifestations of faults, errors, failures in various parts of the network andits hardware and software components).

The functionality of individual components and basic interoperability can be ensured at design time. However, thecomplex interactions between various components or functions deployed in a live Adaptive Network (AN) may not befully assessed or foreseen. Consequently, the document addresses methodologies to test ANs towards meeting theirfunctional targets or policies, and ensuring a minimum trust level for autonomic operation of such networks.
