    Abstract: This document discloses a solution for testing an implementation of a network service provided in a network. According to an aspect, a method comprises: acquiring, by a testing system operating in an isolated staging environment, a plurality of candidate network functions of a network service, wherein the network service is defined by network functions required by the network service and links between the network functions, wherein the plurality of candidate network functions includes at least one candidate network function for each network function required by the network service and includes a plurality of candidate network functions for at least one network function required by the network service; testing, by the testing system, links between the candidate network functions and determining a link performance metric for each tested link; building, by the testing system, a candidate network service for end-to-end performance estimation from candidate network functions having interfaces for which the link performance metrics indicate performance above a determined threshold; estimating, by the testing system, an end-to-end performance metric for the candidate network service on the basis of the link performance metrics of the candidate network service; and outputting, by the testing system, the candidate network service to a production environment on the basis of the estimated end-to-end performance metric.
