Automated virtual network function test controller

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive a test package for testing,
• the test package including at least one virtual network function (VNF) for testing;
• configure the testing for the test package based on the VNF included in the test package or a vendor associated with the VNF;
• execute the testing for the test package based on configuring the testing for the test package,
• the testing including first testing and second testing,
• the first testing including onboarding testing,
• the onboarding testing including two or more of smoke testing, image load testing, image access testing, resource utilization testing, or configuration testing, and
• the second testing including post-onboarding testing,
• the post-onboarding testing including at two or more of security testing, networking testing, performance testing, feature function testing, or service chain testing;
• generate a report based on a result of the executing the testing for the test package;
• and
• provide output identifying the report.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a cloud computing environment, a test package for testing,
• the test package including at least one virtual network function (VNF) for testing;
• configuring, by the cloud computing environment, the testing for the test package based on the VNF included in the test package or a vendor associated with the VNF;
• executing, by the cloud computing environment, the testing for the test package based on configuring the testing for the test package,
• the testing including first testing and second testing,
• the first testing including onboarding testing,
• the onboarding testing including two or more of smoke testing, image load testing, image access testing, resource utilization testing, or configuration testing;
• and
• the second testing including post-onboarding testing,
• the post-onboarding testing including at two or more of security testing, networking testing, performance testing, feature function testing, or service chain testing;
• generating, by the cloud computing environment, a report based on a result of the executing the testing for the test package;
• and
• providing, by the cloud computing environment, output identifying the report.
