Cloud-native network function assessment tool

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• obtaining a plurality of display prompts, the display prompts associated with a stack of software criteria stored in a repository, the software criteria indicative of a software architecture for an application stack included in a network node, the display prompts sorted based on criteria groups, the criteria groups comprising a first criteria group based on software modularity, a second criteria group based on software interoperability, a third criteria group based on software scalability, and a fourth criteria group based on software maintainability;
• transmit a prompt interface comprising at least one of the display prompts;
• obtaining, from an analytics engine, a capability score based on input to the prompt interface, the input corresponding to at least one of the display prompts, the capability score representative of a measurement of satisfaction of a software criterion by the application stack of the network node;
• identifying, based on the capability score, a plurality of recommendations associated with the software criteria, the recommendations including a first recommendation descriptive of a first recommendation to improve software modularity on the network node, a second recommendation to improve software interoperability on the network node, a third recommendation to improve software scalability on the network node, and a fourth recommendation to improve software maintainability on the network node;
• and
• transmit a report interface comprising the plurality of recommendation.

A computer readable storage medium comprising computer executable instructions, the computer executable instructions executable by a processor, the computer executable instructions comprising:

• instructions executable to a plurality of display prompts, the display prompts associated with software criteria stored in a repository, the respective software criteria a plurality of rules corresponding to a software architecture for an application stack included in a network node, the software criteria including a first group of software criteria representative of software modularity, a second group of software criteria representative of software interoperability, a third group of software criteria representative of software scalability, and a fourth group of criteria representative of software maintainability;
• instructions executable to transmit a prompt interface comprising at least one of the display prompts;
• instructions executable to obtain, from an analytics engine, a capability score based on input to the prompt interface, the input corresponding to at least one of the display prompts, the capability score representative of a measurement of satisfaction of at least one of the software criteria by the network node;
• instructions executable to identify, based on the capability score, a plurality of recommendations associated with the software criteria, the plurality of recommendations comprising a first recommendation to improve software modularity on the network node, a second recommendation to improve software interoperability on the network node, a third recommendation to improve software scalability on the network node, and a fourth recommendation to improve software maintainability on the network node;
• and
• instructions executable to transmit a report interface, the report interface comprising the plurality of recommendations.
