41、1.1.1 Introduction Service Providers which use NFV technology verify their virtualised network system (i.e. network service) that they developed by testing from various viewpoints, and once all the system behaviours that will happen during operation in the production environment are thoroughly teste

42、d in the testing environment, the Service Providers begin to provide the service using the network system on the production environment. However, the virtualised network systems have been getting complicated due to multi-vendor environment, adoption of variety of open source software, etc., hence it

43、 has been getting difficult to verify all the system behaviours thoroughly in the testing environment. If a service is provided under such a situation, it is considered that the possibility of service outage would increase because of the underlying bugs in the production system. ETSI ETSI GR NFV-TST

44、 005 V3.1.1 (2017-03) 8 Therefore, it is necessary to reveal and remove the underlying bugs from the network system by continually verifying the network system which is already providing the service on the production environment. This clause calls this kind of testing online testing. If the Service

45、Providers verify the systems which are in operation by online testing, they can conduct various tests under the real complex system states which are created by real users. It is expected that the systems are tested under more realistic conditions and that the underlying bugs in the system will be ea

46、sier to be found and removed compared with the testing environment. The online testing includes fault injection testing (e.g. by stop a VM at random), load injection testing (e.g. by adding large amount of traffic), etc. to verify reliability/availability of the system. By practicing this kind of te

47、sts continually “in a controlled manner“, the service provider can discover and fix potential bugs which could not be found in the testing environment, build up more robust system, and prevent the system from major service outages. The online testing should be done in a controlled manner, as this te

48、sting may affect the running system especially when the test fails, which means an underlying bug is revealed by the test. To conduct online tests in a controlled manner, one thing is to reinforce monitoring around tested area and then the Service Provider can react a test failure immediately if it

49、happens. Another is to capture data of the VNF instances which are potentially affected by the test prior to the test. This can be done by taking VNF Snapshots. In case the test fails and the VNF instance cannot recover after restart, the capture data/VNF Snapshots will be used to recover the (failed) VNF instances to a previous normal running status without consuming time to inject any configuration data (If those VNF instances are deleted and re-instantiated without using snapshots, it will take time to make the VNF instances be ready to start the services
