Project SCoTA

Abstract

SCoTA – Smart Connectivity Test Automation introduces a new paradigm for validating next-generation connectivity systems, spanning Wi-Fi 7, 5G, and emerging 6G technologies.

While network complexity continues to grow, current validation processes remain largely manual, fragmented, and reactive—resulting in repetitive testing, hidden interoperability issues, and escalating operational costs.

SCoTA addresses these challenges by developing an AI-driven, environment-aware validation framework that automates the complete test lifecycle, from requirements to execution and continuous optimization.

Using Telco-specific large language models (LLMs), constraint reasoning, and Event Sequence Graphs (ESGs), the system automatically translates natural-language requirements into executable tests.

These tests are integrated into containerized CI/CD pipelines for real-time execution and feedback across heterogeneous devices and networks.

Collected telemetry feeds into machine learning models that detect anomalies, explain root causes through Explainable AI (SHAP, LIME), and optimize regression strategies via reinforcement learning.

SCoTA unifies Wi-Fi, cellular, and IoT testing into a single architecture, ensuring full traceability between Requirement ↔ Feature ↔ Test ↔ KPI, while improving efficiency, reliability, and coverage.

The project delivers reusable AI modules, open interfaces, and standards alignment with ETSI MBT, IEEE 802.11be, and 3GPP SA5.

Led by Airties (Türkiye) with Huawei France, Akkodis (Germany), devolo, FH Aachen, IFAK, and planen bauen 4.0, SCoTA combines industrial leadership, academic expertise, and standardization engagement.

Its outcomes will reduce validation time and cost by over 30% strengthen European sovereignty in AI-enabled network testing, and establish a reference architecture for smart, autonomous connectivity validation in Europe.
