O-RAN A1-EI Producer Test Suite Data Sheet
Test Suite:
O-RAN A1-EI Producer Test Suite
Direction:
Producer

The A1-EI Producer suite is a Defensics test suite designed for testing the robustness of O-RAN A1 enrichment information producers. It attempts to discover bugs in tested implementations by sending them invalid, incorrect, and malformed JSON data. The test suite is intended strictly for automated black-box negative testing in an isolated lab environment.
