The NFV&MEC Plugtests brought together 29 organizations and over 75 engineers to remotely validate interoperability across 25 NFV and MEC solutions using the secure NFV HIVE framework. Key technical achievements included the first-time inclusion of orchestration in MEC interoperability testing and the consolidation of a CI/CD-driven test automation platform for rapid API conformance updates. Participants successfully identified and resolved implementation issues while providing critical feedback to ETSI NFV and MEC ISGs to advance the latest specifications.
