The disclosed technology includes at least one method that enables a user of a wireless mobile device to remotely administer test cases that check the performance of telecommunications network nodes. The method includes authenticating a user for a limited time period in which the user can remotely administer the test cases. While being temporarily authenticated, the user can configure the test cases by associating services or operations with particular nodes. The executed test cases cause the nodes to generate data that indicate performance of the nodes in response to the services or operations. The results can be displayed at the mobile device used to remotely administer the test cases.

System for administering test cases from a mobile device for a telecommunications network

The disclosed embodiments include a method for performing a health check of a telephony application server (TAS) or call session control function (CSCF) with an integrated virtual network function (iVNF) architecture. The method can include receiving a predefined command at a client component on a central node of the TAS or the CSCF. The command causes the client component to execute a procedure to obtain health data of component node(s) other than the central node. The method can further include fetching the health data obtained by agent component(s) of the component node(s). Each component node has an agent component, and the health data is fetched in accordance with the predefined command received by the client component. The method can further include causing display of an output based on the fetched health data, wherein the output is indicative of a health status of the TAS or the CSCF.
