Mobile application testing engine

A machine-readable storage device, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

• receiving, via a carrier core-network device of a carrier core-network, mobile application data related to a mobile application operating on a mobile device, wherein the mobile application data comprises a characteristic determined by the carrier core-network device, and wherein the characteristic corresponds to the mobile application data traversing carrier core-network devices of the carrier core-network;
• and
• in response to determining an alteration to a transport path corresponding to transport of the mobile application data via first interconnected node devices of the transport path, initiating an altering of a topology of the first interconnected node devices of the transport path based on the alteration, wherein a resulting altered topology transports the mobile application data via second interconnected node devices comprising the transport path, wherein at least one first connection of at least one first node device of the first interconnected node devices is a different connection of a node device than at least one second connection of at least one second node device of the second interconnected node devices, and wherein the determining the alteration to the transport path is based on the characteristic.
