A method performed by an operation, administration and maintenance (OAM) controller for facilitating continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI-CD) in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes transmitting, to a network slice management service (NSMS) consumer, a request to trigger a test upgraded technique for a network function (NF), wherein the request to trigger the test upgraded technique comprises at least one parameter indicated as part of a test network slice information object class (IOC); receiving, from the NSMS consumer, a trigger test response based on the request to trigger the test upgraded technique; and configuring at least one user equipment (UE) with at least one test slice identifier based on the trigger test response.

Methods and systems for enabling CI-CD in wireless network

Embodiments herein disclose methods and systems for managing capabilities of network slice subnets in fifth generation (5G) communication networks. The network slice management function (NSMF) queries the existing network slice subnet's capabilities to determine if the existing network slice subnet can satisfy a network slice requirement. The NSMF receives the capability information of the existing network slice subnet by sending a request to the network slice subnet management function (NSSMF). The capability information of the existing network slice subnet is stored in at least one attribute of an information object class (IOC), wherein the IOC is created by the NSSMF.
