Lab: Plan multi-vendor O-RAN integration test

Integration Test Planning Fundamentals

In this lab you will create a comprehensive integration test plan for a multi-vendor O-RAN deployment combining a CU-CP and CU-UP from Vendor A, a DU from Vendor B, O-RUs from Vendor C, and a near-RT RIC with xApps from Vendor D. Your test plan must address every inter-vendor interface: E1 between CU-CP and CU-UP, F1-C and F1-U between CU and DU, open fronthaul between DU and O-RU, and E2 between all E2 nodes and the RIC. For each interface, you will define the test categories, required equipment, success criteria, and escalation procedures when tests fail.
