Automated active testing supports CSPs’ network automation strategies
Network automation reduces operational costs and allows communications service providers (CSPs) to achieve service agility in virtual and cloud-native networks. Automated active testing presents an early opportunity for CSPs to automate a plethora of service assurance processes, and provides high-quality, real-time network performance and service quality insights that can be used to perform automated root-cause analysis and drive automated actions.
