Network Testing and Analytics [Series Editorial]

Welcome to the first issue of the updated IEEE Series on Network Testing and Analytics. The objective of this Series is to provide a forum across academia and the industry to address the application and development of a range of testing and analytics capabilities and practices that are required to model, measure, and evaluate the effectiveness of networks and systems over their life cycles. With the rapidly increasing scale and complexity of communications networks, the role of analytics- based network testing is expected to further increase in the future. The wealth of data available from networks can be used to better inform and direct testing to reduce costs, as well as to enable more effective optimization, management, and troubleshooting given the transition from intermittent testing toward constant, realtime monitoring.
