Feature: T&M
An open and scaleable platform architecture for TDL (test description language). Based on development standards (Java, Eclipse) and supporting the integration of open-source and third-party components
State Transfer (REST) concept and resource-orientated protocols, including HTTP(S) and CoAP, or other applicable protocols such as MQTT and AMQP. In November 2020 ETSI published
a free guide on the methodology for RESTful API specification and testing. Offering an overview of standardisation activities for telecommunication interfaces and application-programming interfaces based on RESTful concept, the guide collects conventions, methodology and design patterns from ETSI groups and the wider industry and offers consolidated guidelines to serve the complete standardisation lifecycle, from design to validation.
Better informed with AI Te scale and complexity of modern network management is rapidly outstripping what can be accomplished manually in real- or near-real time. As a consequence, we are seeing increased automation of functions such as configuration and capacity management, accomplished without human supervision. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine
learning (ML) will play a central role in the efficient supervision and management of tomorrow’s networks. In this area, ETSI is actively exploring the benefits and trustworthiness of AI and ML in test systems used for standardisation in
telecommunications and other domains. In particular, ETSI is developing testing methodologies and standards that allow AI mechanisms to help operators make actionable decisions that ultimately benefit the experience of networks’ end users. Tis exponential increase in the
complexity of ICT networks presents similar challenges from a testing perspective. A first question is how AI can improve the flexibility, resilience and efficiency of the testing process itself. In parallel with this, ETSI is also
examining the development and application of methodologies for testing AI-enabled systems when they are connected to the network.
