Prolog information
The background maintenance tests in the system are divided into three groups:
  • Periodic tests
    • Usually performed hourly by maintenance software
    • Nondestructive (not service-affecting)
    • Run during high-traffic periods without interfering with calls
  • Scheduled tests
    • Usually performed daily
    • More thorough than periodic testing
    • Destructive (service-affecting)
    • Run only during off-hours to avoid service disruptions
  • Fixed-interval tests
    • Performed at regular time intervals and cannot be administered
    • Run concurrently with periodic maintenance
The MOs that run fixed-interval testing are listed below:
