Generate and execute OAM test suites

Purpose

Use one of the procedures in this section to generate and execute an OAM test suite against objects of a service. The procedures are based on the procedures for the following:

  • Configuring an OAM test suite for a service, in the NSP Network and Service Assurance Guide
