Automated service request

A method comprising:

• determining a set of test locations based on a network parameter;
• determining a subset of the test locations that do not have a point test equipment;
• determining a drive test route to cover an area serviced by each the subset of the test locations;
• receiving a notification from a drive test equipment in response to the drive test equipment arriving at a first test location on the drive test route;
• sending test parameters to the drive test equipment;
• receiving a drive test result from the drive test equipment;
• determining whether the drive test results meet a drive test specification;
• and
• requesting the drive test equipment to relocate to a second test location on the drive test route in response to a determination that the drive test results meet the drive test specification.

A system comprising:

• a controller including circuitry configured to:
• determine a set of test locations based on a network parameter;
• determine a subset of the test locations that do not have a point test equipment;
• determine a drive test route to cover an area serviced by each the subset of the test locations;
• receive a notification from a drive test equipment in response to the drive test equipment arriving at a first test location on the drive test route;
• send test parameters to the drive test equipment;
• receive a drive test result from the drive test equipment;
• determine whether the drive test results meet a drive test specification;
• and
• send a request to the drive test equipment to relocate to a second test location on the drive test route in response to a determination that the drive test results meet the drive test specification.
