Vital network functions are moving from hardware to virtualized software instances, and those software instances are increasingly being deployed in cloud environments.

Download this report to learn more about:

- Why operators are turning to CI/CD and CT
- The interplay of Open RAN and CI/CD/CT
- RF testing as a potential limiting factor in enabling network changes through CI/CD

In a new paradigm where services can be spun up, down and tweaked dynamically, traditional testing processes also need to evolve.

As operators become more IT-centric and leverage continuous integration/continuous deployment practices, they also need to be mindful of the need for continuous testing.
