Chapter 16. SS7 Testing
When a new implementation of C7 is introduced into a network, it must be conformance tested against the appropriate standard to ensure that it functions correctly. This is known as validation testing. Validation testing is performed before the implementation is put into a live network.
After validation testing has been successfully completed, the implementation can be deployed into the live network, where more testing will be performed.
