SIP messages are considered in TTCN-3 description as PDU and analysed independently of the transport layer that has
been used. The ATS does not care if the several SIP messages have been received in a same frame or in several frames
and expect SIP messages one by one. It is up to the TRI to manage those considerations. The choice of the transport
protocol used is taken into account by the ATS while the port are initialized at the beginning of each test component by
calling a dedicated init function (initUDPport(), initUDPMTCport, etc.).
4.3 Test system architecture
Test systems that implement this ATS shall conform to the requirements as defined in this clause.
4.3.1 Structure
An abstract architecture for a test system (TS) implementing a TTCN-3 ATS is displayed in figure 3 and also stated in
ES 201 873-5 [3].

Figure 3: Abstract Test System Architecture
A TS has two interfaces, the TTCN-3 Control Interface (TCI) and the TTCN-3 Runtime Interface (TRI), which specify
the interface between Test Management (TM) and TTCN-3 Executable (TE) entities, and TE, SUT Adapter (SA) and
Platform Adapter (PA) entities, respectively. Out of these two interfaces the TRI has been standardized in
ES 201 873-5 [3], whereas the specification and implementation of the TCI is currently considered to be proprietary.
The part of TS that deals with interpretation and execution of TTCN-3 modules, i.e. the Executable Test Suite (ETS), is
shown as part of the TTCN-3 Executable (TE). This ETS corresponds either to the executable code produced by a
TTCN-3 compiler or a TTCN-3 interpreter from the TTCN-3 ATS in a TS implementation. The remaining part of the
TS, which deals with any aspects that cannot be concluded from information being present in the TTCN-3 ATS alone,
can be decomposed into Test Management (TM), SUT Adapter (SA), and Platform Adapter (PA) entities. In general,
these entities cover a TS user interface, test execution control, test event logging, communication of test data with the
SUT, and timer implementation.
The SA for a SIP TS shall implement the TRI adaptation as well as the SIP transport protocol architecture described in
clause 4.2. The Encoding/Decoding System (EDS) entity with the TE and Test Logging (TL) entity within the TM shall
comply with the conventions defined in following clauses.
4.3.2 Encoding/Decoding System requirements
SIP is a text-based protocol that allows different syntactical presentations of the same information. In general, an
implementation of this ATS should use a EDS to parse received encoded messages into TTCN-3 type structures and
values, and encode structured TTCN-3 type structures and values into encoded messages. This EDS is not part of the
ATS. Still all encoded messages, i.e. the messages as they are transmitted by the SA to or received by the SA from the
SUT, shall be logged.

The following terms shall be used for the conventions defined below:
Syntactic delimiter Syntactic delimiters are characters like "=" or ";" that are used to separate encoded values
LWS linear white spaces as defined SIP [1]
Parameter name name of header parameters as defined in SIP [1].
Parameter value the value of a parameter as defined in SIP
Undefined method an undefined method is a method other than: "INVITE", "ACK", "OPTIONS", "BYE",
"CANCEL" and "REGISTER".
Undefined header an undefined header is a header other than general-header, entity-header, request-header and
response header as defined in SIP [1].
Unexpected header an unexpected header is a header, which shall not be present in a specific request message.
This definition complies to the definition of NOT APPLICABLE in SIP [1]/10 for request
messages.
4.3.2.1 Decoding requirements
TTCN-3 fields should not contain syntactic delimiters like white space, semicolon, equal characters etc. in fully
decoded fields. Instead the information provided by a parser shall be used to build the decoded message in TTCN-3.
Decoded messages shall use the TTCN-3 enumeration types where ever appropriate, e.g. for the method and the header
field name.
For charstring fields the following decoding rules shall be applied by the EDS:
• Subsequent LWS shall compress to a single space character " ".
• Decoded parameter names shall use only lower case letters.
• Parameter values containing an integer value shall be decoded to a TTCN-3 integer value where a TTCN-3
integer type is used for a SIP parameter value.
The following decoding rules shall be applied by the EDS to each received message in the following order:
1) In case a request message indicating an undefined method is received by the test system, the message shall not
be passed in the TE to the ETS. However the message is subject to logging as defined in clause 4.3.3.
2) In case an undefined header has been received the header field shall be decoded as UndefinedHeader field.
3) The SIP standard [1] allows for multiple header field values of the same kind to either arrive in one or multiple
occurrences of the corresponding header field. The SIP ATS has been written assuming only the first format.
Therefore, should the EDS receive multiple header fields of the same kind in a SIP message, e.g., of a Via
header field, it shall convert them into the equivalent single header field with multiple values. This can be
achieved by adding the value of , e.g. the second received Via header field as the last value to the value(s) of
the first Via header field.
4.3.2.2 Encoding requirements
Encoders shall follow all encoding rules that are defined in SIP ABNF [2] when encoding structured values received
from templates. This applies in particular to but it is not restricted to clause [1]/3 "SIP Message Overview" and [1]/10.5
"Header Field Format".
Values of type RawMessage shall be send to the SUT without any modification.
4.3.3 Logging conventions
As the ATS defines on an abstract level the message exchange between TS and SUT the messages encoded messages
send and received shall be logged. The TM entity in the TS shall provide access to this log.

5 Untestable Test Purposes (TP)
This clause gives a list of TP, which are not implemented in the ATS due to the chosen ATM or other restrictions :
None
6 ATS conventions
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 naming conventions and the implementation conventions. The naming
conventions describe the structure of the naming of all ATS elements. The implementation conventions describe the
functional structure of the ATS.
6.1 Naming conventions
6.1.1 Type definitions
This clause describes the naming conventions used for structured and unstructured types as well as for the field names
of structured types.
6.1.1.1 General
Type identifiers use mixed cased with the first letter of each internal word capitalized.
EXAMPLE: RequestLine

Field identifiers use mixed cased with a lowercase first letter. Internal words start with a capital letter.
EXAMPLE: requestLine
Names of type as well as field identifiers attempt to follow the naming chosen of ABNF elements (if a counterpart
exists) as closely as possible.
EXAMPLES: NameAddr
hostName
In case type and identifier names should give a hint on their structure the term describing the structure should be
separated with an underscore ("_") at the end of the name.
EXAMPLES: CommaParam_List
ContactBody_Union
6.1.1.2 PDU Type Definition
Names of types used as PDUs follow the general conventions as defined in clause 6.1.1.1.
EXAMPLE: Request
6.1.2 Template definition
Template identifiers consist of the type name, an identifier denoting whether the template is for sending or receiving
and a sequential number.
EXAMPLE: Request_r_1 denotes a template
