Abstract
Systems and methods provide on-demand network slicing to support testing of customer use cases A test network management system receives customer parameters for a use case in a production network. The customer parameters include an identifier for a user equipment (UE) device to be tested with the use case. The test network management system provides, to the UE device, configuration information to associate the UE device with a test mode network segment of the production network. A network device in the production network may receive a registration request, from the UE device, that includes the configuration information. Based on the configuration information, the network device blocks the UE device from accessing the production network. Instead, the test network management system initiates provisioning of the test mode network segment for the UE device; and the network device redirects the registration request to the test mode network segment.
