1. At least one computer-readable storage medium, excluding transitory signals and carrying instructions, which, when executed by at least one data processor of a system, cause the system to:
initiate an automation engine configured to execute a test script that validates a product on a telecommunications network;
simulate an enhanced calling or messaging communications service on the telecommunications network,
wherein the simulated enhanced calling or messaging communications service is utilized by the product;
instantiate a network probe configured to:
capture packets in a sequence of network nodes over the telecommunications network during the simulation of the enhanced calling or messaging communications service, and
extract actual parameter data from the captured packets, wherein packets are captured at interfaces of the sequence of network nodes;
compare the actual parameter data from the captured packets to expected parameter data defined for the test script to generate test results relative to test criteria; and
present an indication that the product passed or failed the test script based on the test results.
