Abstract
A quality assurance method, performed in a device, includes defining a set of states of a joint system of a communication service provider and a consumer of the service, defining a set of actions each corresponding to a change of one or more QoS characteristics of the service, using a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) to define a control policy mapping beliefs about the state of the joint system to preferred actions taken on the service, receiving observations indicative of performance indicators of a process performed by the consumer, updating a belief about the state of the joint system based on the observations, and using the control policy to control the service to make the service operate more efficiently while fulfilling a service level agreement (SLA) with the consumer. A device, joint system, computer program and computer program product are also provided.
