# Service Test Management Open API

The Service Test Management Open API provides endpoints to create and retrieve service test definitions and service tests.

Use this API to manage service problem management information between external systems and the ServiceNow AI Platform. The Service Test Management Open API is a ServiceNow implementation of the TM Forum Service Problem Management API REST specification. This implementation is based on the [TMF653 Service Test Management API User Guide v4.1.0](https://www.tmforum.org/resources/specification/tmf653-service-test-management-api-user-guide-v4-1-0/), July 2021.

This REST API is designed to manage and execute service tests within a telecommunications environment. It allows users to define, trigger, and monitor service tests, ensuring that services meet quality and performance standards. The API provides capabilities for test management, including creating and updating test definitions, executing tests, retrieving test results, and managing test schedules.

The Service Test Management Open API requires the Customer Service Problem Management \(com.sn\_sprb\_mgmt\) application, which is available on the ServiceNow Store. For more information, see [Customer Service Problem Management](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/telecom-media-technology/cspm-landing-page.md).

This API runs in the `sn_sprb_mgmt` namespace. The calling user must have the sn\_sprb\_mgmt.test\_integrator role.

The Service Test Management Open API creates or updates data in the following tables:

-   Test Run \[sn\_st\_mgmt\_test\]
-   Service Test definition \[sn\_st\_mgmt\_test\_definition\]
-   Test Definition Characteristic \[sn\_st\_mgmt\_test\_definition\_characteristic\]
-   Test Characteristic \[sn\_st\_mgmt\_test\_characteristic\]
-   Specification to Test Definition Relationship \[sn\_st\_mgmt\_test\_definition\_m2m\]
-   Test Definition Relationship \[sn\_st\_mgmt\_test\_definition\_rel\]
-   Test Measure \[sn\_st\_mgmt\_test\_measure\]
-   Measure Consequence \[sn\_st\_mgmt\_measure\_consequence\]
-   Test Measure Definition \[sn\_st\_mgmt\_test\_measure\_definition\]
-   Applied Consequence \[sn\_st\_mgmt\_applied\_consequence\]
-   Threshold Rule \[sn\_st\_mgmt\_threshold\_rule\]
-   Threshold Rule Violation \[sn\_st\_mgmt\_threshold\_rule\_violation\]
