- The adoption of 5G has recently picked up pace and across the globe commercial deployments are more and more numerous. In addition to better performance, 5G brings, among others, management and operation flexibility, thus allowing industry verticals to exploit features of the telecommunication networks that go far beyond the new mobile access capabilities. As with any new technology, the integration, testing and validation of new vertical applications pose great challenges at both management and operational levels. In this context, there is an evident need for 5G infrastructure facilities that offer testing and validation capabilities through a flexible experimentation framework. This paper presents the 5GENESIS EU-funded research project Experimentation Facility and the results of the validation campaigns conducted in its five experimentation platforms. The tests and obtained results were facilitated by the 5GENESIS Suite, an open-source framework providing test automation and result analytics.

- A scalable, flexible and reliable Analytics service has become a requirement toward building efficient Fifth Generation (5G) experimental platforms that can support a suite of end-user experiments and verticals. Our paper presents the challenges that come with designing such a service-based Analytics component, and shows how we have used it in the context of open experimental platforms in the 5GENESIS project. Our Analytics service was designed both for enabling the efficient setup and configuration of the underlying platform, and also for ensuring that it provides useful insights into the experimentation Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) toward the end-user. Thus, Analytics proved to be a useful tool across several stages, starting from ensuring correct operation during the initial phases of the network setup and continuing into the normal day-to-day experimentation. Our experiments show how the tool was used in our setup and provide information on how to apply it to different environments. The Analytics component, designed as a set of microservices that serve several goals in the analytics workflow, is also provided as open source, being part of the Open5Genesis suite.
