VALOR is enabled by the VIAVI Automation Management and Orchestration System (VAMOS), the newest
automation engine​for enhanced lab efficiency and effectiveness.

VAMOS brings together RANtoCORE solutions by deploying, configuring and managing multiple products under a
harmonized REST API and Web UI framework. The Automation Framework Engine is agnostic to the deployment
environment. In addition to providing a standalone solution to manage the VIAVI portfolio to schedule and run test
campaigns, it can be integrated with a 3rd party automation framework via REST APIs in CI/CD manner.
