1 Scope
The present document contains the Abstract Test Suite (ATS) for MAP-SPAT Messages (MAP-SPAT) as defined in
SAE J2735 [1] in compliance with the relevant requirements and in accordance with the relevant guidance given in
ISO/IEC 9646-7 [5].
The objective of the present document is to provide a basis for conformance tests for MAP-SPAT Messages
(MAP-SPAT) equipment giving a high probability of interoperability between different manufacturers' equipment.
The ISO standard for the methodology of conformance testing (ISO/IEC 9646-1 [2] and ISO/IEC 9646-2 [3]) as well as
the ETSI rules for conformance testing (ETSI ETS 300 406 [6]) are used as a basis for the test methodology.

4 Abstract Test Method (ATM)
4.1 Abstract protocol tester
The abstract protocol tester used by this test suite is described in figure 1. The test system simulates valid and invalid
protocol behaviour, and analyses the reaction of the IUT.

Figure 1: Abstract protocol tester – MAP SPAT
4.2 Test Configuration
This test suite uses a unique test configuration in order to cover the different test scenarios. In this configuration, the
tester simulates one ITS station implementing the MAP SPAT protocol.
4.3 Test architecture
The present document implements the general TTCN-3 test architecture described in ETSI EG 202 798 [i.1],
clauses 6.3.2 and 8.3.1.
Figure 2 shows the test architecture used in for the MAP SPAT ATS. The MAP SPAT test component requires using
only the Main Test Component (MTC). The MTC communicates with the MAP SPAT SUT over the MapSpatPort. The
MapSpatPort is used to exchange MAP SPAT protocol messages between the MAP SPAT test component and the MAP
SPAT IUT.

9 ETSI TS 103 191-3 V1.1.1 (2015-09)
The Upper tester entity in the SUT enables triggering MAP SPAT functionalities by simulating primitives from
application. It is required to trigger the MAP SPAT layer in the SUT to send SPAT messages, which are resulting from
upper layer primitives. Furthermore, receiving MAP messages may result for the MAP SPAT layer in sending
primitives to the upper layer.

4.4 Ports and ASPs (Abstract Services Primitives)
4.4.1 Introduction
Two ports are used by the MAP SPAT ATS:
• The mapSpatPort, of type MapSpatPort.
• The utPort, of type UpperTesterPort.
4.4.2 Primitives of the mapSpatPort
Four types of primitives are used in the mapSpatPort:
• The MapInd primitive used to receive messages of type MapMsg (MAP_PDU + RawData).
• The SpatInd primitive used to receive messages of type SpatMsg (SPAT_PDU + RawData).
• The MapReq primitive used to send messages of type MAP_PDU.
• The SpatReq primitive used to send messages of type SPAT_PDU.
ETSI

---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
10 ETSI TS 103 191-3 V1.1.1 (2015-09)
These four primitives use the MAP_PDU type and the SPAT_PDU type, which is declared in the
MAP_SPAT_ETSI.asn ASN.1 module, following the ASN.1 definition from SAE J2735 [1].
MAP-PDU ::= SEQUENCE
{
header ItsPduHeader,
mapData MapData
}

SPAT-PDU ::= SEQUENCE
{
header ItsPduHeader,
spatData SPAT
}
4.4.3 Primitives of the utPort
This port uses six types of primitives:
• The UtInitialize primitive used to initialize IUT.
• The UtMapSpatTrigger primitive used to trigger upper layer events in IUT.
• The UtInitializeResult primitive used to receive upper layer result of initialization in IUT.
• The UtMapSpatTriggerResult primitive used to receive upper layer result of triggering MAP-SPAT in IUT.
• The UtMapEventInd primitive used to receive upper layer event of MAP_PDU in IUT.
• The UtMapEventInd primitive used to receive upper layer event of SPAT_PDU in IUT.
5 Untestable Test Purposes
Table 1 gives a list of TPs, which are not implemented in the ATS due to the chosen ATM or other restrictions.

6 ATS conventions
6.1 Introduction
The ATS conventions are intended to give a better understanding of the ATS but they also describe the conventions
made for the development of the ATS. These conventions shall be considered during any later maintenance or further
development of the ATS.
The ATS conventions contain two clauses, the testing conventions and the naming conventions. The testing conventions
describe the functional structure of the ATS. The naming conventions describe the structure of the naming of all ATS
elements.
To define the ATS, the guidelines of the document ETSI ETS 300 406 [6] was considered.
ETSI

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
11 ETSI TS 103 191-3 V1.1.1 (2015-09)
6.2 Testing conventions
6.2.1 Testing states
6.2.1.1 Initial state
All test cases start with the function f_prInitialState. This function brings the IUT in an "initialized" state by invoking
the upper tester primitive UtInitialize.
6.2.1.2 Final state
All test cases end with the function f_poDefault. This function brings the IUT back in an "idle" state. As no specific
actions are required for the idle state in SAE J2735 [1], the function f_ poDefault does not invoke any action.
As necessary, further actions may be included in the f_poDefault function.
6.2.2 Message types - ASN.1 definitions
ASN.1 definitions from SAE J2735 [1] are directly imported in TTCN-3 using the ASN.1 import method specified in
ETSI ES 201 873-7 [8].
The following example shows the TTCN-3 import statement used to import ASN.1 definitions in the TTCN-3 modules:
import from DSRC language "ASN.1:1997" all;

Generic ASN.1 definitions (message header, station Id, etc.), are defined in the Common Data Dictionary
ETSI TS 102 894-2 [10] ASN.1 module. Thus the MAP SPAT ASN.1 modules need to import these definitions from
the Common Data Dictionary ETSI TS 102 894-2 [10] ASN.1 module (see the following ASN.1 import statement
extracted from the MAP-SPAT-ETSI ASN.1 module):
IMPORTS
  MapData, SPAT FROM DSRC
  ItsPduHeader FROM ITS-Container

6.3 Naming conventions
6.3.1 Introduction
This test suite follows the naming convention guidelines provided in the ETSI EG 202 798 [i.1].
6.3.2 General guidelines
The naming convention is based on the following underlying principles:
• in most cases, identifiers should be prefixed with a short alphabetic string (specified in table 2) indicating the
type of TTCN-3 element it represents;
• suffixes should not be used except in those specific cases identified in table 2;
• prefixes and suffixes should be separated from the body of the identifier with an underscore ("_");
EXAMPLE 1: c_sixteen, t_wait.
• only module names, data type names and module parameters should begin with an upper-case letter. All other
names (i.e. the part of the identifier following the prefix) should begin with a lower-case letter;
• the start of second and subsequent words in an identifier should be indicated by capitalizing the first character.
Underscores should not be used for this purpose.
EXAMPLE 2: f_initialState.
Table 2 specifies the naming guidelines for each element of the TTCN-3 language indicating the recommended prefix,
suffixes (if any) and capitalization.
