Abstract
The objectives of the paper is to review the conflicting requirements and needs of existing telecommunication network testing approaches, services and equipment, in order to provide a simple but powerful solution that allows automated and standardized testing activities. We present in the paper a progressive transition from the current proprietary practices, to a distributed and fully TMN compliant management of telecommunication networks testing.
