Abstract
A testing manager at a provider network configures a multi-network-function test sandbox for a first network function developed by a first vendor. To configure the sandbox, the testing manager causes the first network function to be run at a first server and verifies network connectivity between the first network function and another network function which is not developed by the first vendor. The testing manager causes a test to be run, which includes transmission of messages from the first network function to the second network function. A result of the test is provided via a programmatic interface.
