• Validate interfaces and data flows involving OSS platforms, Network Elements, network-management systems, and performance-monitoring systems.
• Test dashboards, reports, alarms, counters, metrics, and performance data against expected network behavior.
• Support quality validation for 4G/LTE and 5G network performance monitoring environments.
• Verify data accuracy and integrity across network-performance collection and reporting workflows.
