RAN Test Harness Engineering
Automated test infrastructure for 5G RAN validation — from unit-level xApp testing to full end-to-end network simulation at scale.
Precision Testing for AI-Native RAN
OranSense Harness Engineering provides a fully automated test infrastructure purpose-built for Open RAN environments — covering xApp validation, O-RAN interface conformance, and end-to-end network slice testing across disaggregated CU, DU, and RU components.
The harness integrates directly with CI/CD pipelines, triggering regression suites on every code commit and generating structured test reports aligned to O-RAN Alliance conformance profiles and 3GPP Release 17/18 specifications.
Emulated UE traffic generation, RF channel simulation, and fault injection capabilities allow teams to validate RAN behaviour under realistic and adversarial conditions without requiring physical radio hardware.

Platform Capabilities
Every dimension of RAN validation — conformance, performance, resilience, and security — covered by a single automated harness.
xApp Conformance Testing
Automated validation of xApp E2 interface behaviour, KPI reporting accuracy, and control loop latency against O-RAN Alliance test specifications.
CI/CD Pipeline Integration
Native plugins for Jenkins, GitLab CI, and GitHub Actions. Test suites trigger automatically on merge requests with pass/fail gates and structured JUnit reports.
RF Channel Emulation
Software-defined channel models for AWGN, fading, and multi-path propagation. Validate RAN performance across PDSCH, PUSCH, and PUCCH under realistic channel conditions.
Fault Injection Framework
Controlled injection of packet loss, latency spikes, node failures, and fronthaul degradation. Verify RAN resilience and self-healing behaviour under failure scenarios.
KPI Regression Tracking
Automated comparison of throughput, latency, BLER, and handover success rates across software versions. Regressions are flagged with root-cause diff reports.
Security Test Suites
Automated scanning for O-RAN interface vulnerabilities, mTLS misconfiguration, and RBAC policy gaps aligned to O-RAN security threat model WG11 specifications.
How It Works
From code commit to conformance report in four automated steps.
Test Plan Generation
Harness ingests the target software manifest and O-RAN profile to auto-generate a tailored test plan covering interface conformance, performance baselines, and security checks.
Environment Provisioning
Kubernetes-native test environments spin up on demand — emulated UEs, RAN components, and traffic generators deployed and configured in under 90 seconds.
Automated Execution
Test suites execute in parallel across isolated namespaces. Real-time telemetry streams into the results dashboard as each case completes.
Report & Gate
Structured reports map results to O-RAN conformance requirements. CI/CD gates block non-conformant builds; passing builds are automatically promoted to staging.
