4 Abstract Test Method (ATM)
4.1 Description of ATM used
The multi-party test method is applied for testing the IUT. The general configuration used is shown in figure 1.
A Point of Control and Observation (PCO) resides at the service access point between layers 2 and 3 in the test system.
The PCO used by the MTC is named "L0" (for Lower). This PCO is used to control and observe the behaviour of the
Implementation Under Test (IUT) and test case verdicts are assigned depending on the behaviour observed at this PCO.
A second "informal" PCO, called "O" (for Operator) is used to specify control but not observation above the IUT;
events at this PCO are never used to generate test case verdicts. Messages sent by the tester at this PCO explicitly
indicate to the operator actions which are to be performed on the SUT. This is regarded as a preferred alternative to the
use of the implicit send event.

PCO O PCO L0
IUT
Figure 1: Multi-party test method
The relationship between the IUT and the tester is as follows:
• when the IUT is either in the Originating configuration or in the Terminating configuration, the IUT is connected
to the MTC. The verdict depends on the behaviour observed at the PCO between the IUT and the MTC. The
PCO O is used to specify control above the IUT, using the PTC process.

5 Untestable test purposes
There are no untestable test cases associated with this ATS and ATM.
6 ATS conventions
6.1 Version of TTCN used
The version of TTCN used is that defined in TR 101 101 [4].
6.2 Use of ASN.1
6.2.1 Situations where ASN.1 is used
ASN.1 has been used for three major reasons. First, types defined in ASN.1 can model problems that "pure" TTCN
cannot. For instance, data structures modelling ordered or unordered sequences of data are preferably defined in ASN.1.
Second, ASN.1 provides a better restriction mechanism for type definitions by using sub-type definitions. Third, it is
necessary to use ASN.1 to reproduce the type definitions for remote operation components as specified in the base
standards in ASN.1.
The possibility to use TTCN and ASN.1 in combination is used, i.e. referring to an ASN.1 type from a TTCN type.
6.2.2 Specification of encoding rules
There is a variation in the encoding rules applied to ASN.1 types and constraints specified in this ATS and therefore a
mechanism is needed to differentiate the encoding rules. However the mechanism specified in
ISO/IEC 9646-3/AM2 [3] and in TR 101 101 [4] does not facilitate definition of the encoding rules as needed for this
ATS. A solution is therefore used which is broadly in the spirit of ISOIEC 9646-3/AM2 [3] in which comment fields
have been used as a means of encoding rules.
For ASN.1 used in this ATS, two variations of encoding rules are used. One is the commonly known Basic Encoding
Rules (BER) as specified in ISO/IEC 8825-1 [5]. In the second case the encoding is according to ISDN, i.e. the ASN.1
data types are a representation of structures contained within the ISDN specification (basic call, Generic functional
protocol or individual supplementary service). For example, if octets of an information element are specified in ASN.1
as a SEQUENCE then this should be encoded in an Executable Test Suite (ETS) as any other ISDN information
element specified using tabular TTCN. This ISDN encoding variation is the default encoding rule for this ATS. This
means that all ASN.1 constraint tables are encoded using ISDN (non-BER) encoding unless stated otherwise. BER
encoding should never be applied to an ASN.1 constraint where BER encoding has not been specified. This encoding
rule is sometimes named "Direct Encoding".
For BER encoding, an indication is given in the comments field of the table header. For this ATS such indications
appear in the ASN.1 type constraint declaration tables only. In the table header comment field, the notation
"ASN1_Encoding: BER" is used.
In this particular ATS all ASN.1 type constraints which are of type "Component" are to be encoded using BER.
Table 1 shows an example of a ASN.1 type Constrained Declaration used in this ATS.

7 ATS to TP map
The identifiers used for the TPs are reused as test case names. Thus there is a straightforward one-to-one mapping.
8 PCTR conformance
A test laboratory, when requested by a client to produce a PCTR, is required, as specified in ISO/IEC 9646-5 [3], to
produce a PCTR conformant with the PCTR template given in annex B of ISO/IEC 9646-5 [3].
Furthermore, a test laboratory, offering testing for the ATS specification contained in annex C, when requested by a
client to produce a PCTR, is required to produce a PCTR conformant with the PCTR proforma contained in annex A.
A PCTR which conforms to this PCTR proforma specification shall preserve the content and ordering of the clauses
contained in annex A. Clause A.6 of the PCTR may contain additional columns. If included, these shall be placed to the
right of the existing columns. Text in italics may be retained by the test laboratory.

9 PIXIT conformance
A test realizer, producing an executable test suite for the ATS specification contained in annex C, is required, as
specified in ISO/IEC 9646-4 [3], to produce an augmented partial PIXIT proforma conformant with this partial PIXIT
proforma specification.
An augmented partial PIXIT proforma which conforms to this partial PIXIT proforma specification shall, as a
minimum, have contents which are technically equivalent to annex B. The augmented partial PIXIT proforma may
contain additional questions that need to be answered in order to prepare the Means Of Testing (MOT) for a particular
IUT.
A test laboratory, offering testing for the ATS specification contained in annex C, is required, as specified in
ISO/IEC 9646-5 [3], to further augment the augmented partial PIXIT proforma to produce a PIXIT proforma
conformant with this partial PIXIT proforma specification.
A PIXIT proforma which conforms to this partial PIXIT proforma specification shall, as a minimum, have contents
which are technically equivalent to annex B. The PIXIT proforma may contain additional questions that need to be
answered in order to prepare the test laboratory for a particular IUT.
10 ATS conformance
The test realizer, producing MOT and ETS for this ATS specification, shall comply with the requirements of
ISO/IEC 9646-4 [3]. In particular, these concern the realization of an ETS based on each ATS. The test realizer shall
provide a statement of conformance of the MOT to this ATS specification.
An ETS which conforms to this ATS specification shall contain test groups and test cases which are technically
equivalent to those contained in the ATS in annex C. All sequences of test events comprising an abstract test case shall
be capable of being realized in the executable test case. Any further checking which the test system might be capable of
performing is outside the scope of this ATS specification and shall not contribute to the verdict assignment for each test
case.
Test laboratories running conformance test services using this ATS shall comply with ISO/IEC 9646-5 [3].
A test laboratory which claims to conform to this ATS specification shall use an MOT which conforms to this ATS.
