Abstract

The embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a first node (101) for enabling testing of at least a part (105, 108) of the first node (101) in a deployed network. The first node (101) determines that at least a part (105, 108) of the first node (101) should be tested, and determines a direction in which to transmit or receive a test signal (200) to or from a second node (103). The first node (101) transmits the test signal (200) OTA in the determined direction to the second node (103) if a transmitter of the first node (101) should be tested. The first node (101) receives the test signal (200) OTA in the determined direction from the second node (103) if a receiver of the first node (101) should be tested.
