CP4NA offers an integrated test framework to automate the testing of services and xNFs. It enables you to define test scenarios so when you onboard a new xNF it is verified against that test scenario. The behavior-driven tests allow you to run xNFs and Network services through their lifecycles in a pre-production environment setting before instantiating them in production. The advantage of this is that you catch any errors early on. Also, testing is an integral part of the Design phase so issues are solved proactively, before going into production.
