5G Automation Testing for Telecom Professionals

This hands-on course equips test automation engineers, 5G testers, and DevOps professionals with the skills to automate testing of 5G core networks using open-source tools. Moving beyond basic API testing, participants will learn to simulate UEs/gNBs, automate protocol interactions, build reusable test frameworks, perform load testing, and integrate everything into CI/CD pipelines—all using a practical, lab-driven approach with Open5GS and UERANSIM.

What You'll Learn:

#Automate 5G core REST APIs (NRF, UDM, AMF, SMF) using Python

#Simulate UE registration and PDU session setups with UERANSIM

#Build custom Robot Framework libraries for 5G test automation

#Perform load and performance testing on 5G control and user planes

#Integrate automated tests into GitLab CI/Jenkins pipelines (NetDevOps)

#Debug real-world 5G failures using logs and structured troubleshooting

#Complete a capstone project: automate validation of a network slice

Key Tools Covered:

5G Core: Open5GS
UE/gNB Simulator: UERANSIM
Automation: Python, Robot Framework, PyTest
Performance: JMeter, iPerf3
CI/CD: Docker, Docker-Compose, GitLab CI / Jenkins
