5G Core Testing

Emulate millions of subscribers, slices and fault events long before go-live.

Why 5G Core Validation Matters

A 5G Stand-Alone core is really a cluster of tiny apps (micro-services) that all have to answer thousands of requests every second. If too many phones try to register at once—or a new software release slips in a bug—the whole fabric can stall and customers lose service. Automated “lab storms” with Spirent Landslide let you hit the core with the worst-case load, trigger faults on purpose and watch every KPI in real time, so surprises never reach the live network.

5G Core

How the Test Workflow Looks

1
Subscriber & Slice Generator
Spawns millions of virtual UEs and slice-aware QoS flows.
2
5GC Micro-services “cloud”
Drives traffic through every AMF, SMF, UPF, PCF—just like live
3
Fault Injector
Drops interfaces or overloads nodes to probe resilience under stress.
4
Real-time Dashboard
Streams pass/fail KPIs to Grafana for instant, drill-down insight.
Outcomes You Can Count On

Key Benefits

5G_Core Launch-day Confidence

Prove registration-success > 99.99 % and slice latency < 50 ms in-lab, not in production.

 
5G_Core Faster Releases Automate every regression run from your CI/CD pipeline and cut release cycles by up to 3×—as Telefónica achieved  
5G_Core Lower Field-Fix Cost Catch signalling storms and capacity limits before they hit live subscribers, slashing unplanned OPEX.  
5G_Core Security & Compliance Ready Run SCAS, DDoS and replay-attack suites alongside functional tests for one clean “go/no-go”.
