1 Scope
This sixth part of ETS 300 403 specifies the network Test Suite Structure and Test Purposes (TSS&TP)
for the T reference point or coincident S and T reference point (as defined in ITU-T Recommendation
I.411 [9]) of implementations conforming to the standards for the signalling network layer for circuit-mode
basic call control of the Digital Subscriber Signalling System No. one (DSS1) protocol for the pan-
European Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN), ETS 300 403-1 [1] and ETS 300 403-2 [2].
A further part of this ETS specifies the Abstract Test Suite (ATS) and partial Protocol Implementation
eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT) proforma based on this ETS. Other parts specify the TSS&TP and
the ATS and partial PIXIT proforma for the User side of the T reference point or coincident S and
T reference point of implementations conforming to ETS 300 403-1 [1] and ETS 300 403-2 [2].

6 Test Purposes (TP)
6.1 Introduction
For each test requirement, a TP is defined.
6.1.1 TP naming convention
TPs are numbered, starting at 001, within each group. Groups are organized according to the TSS.
Additional references are added to identify the actual test suite and whether it applies to the network or the
user (see table 1).
Table 1: TP identifier naming convention scheme
Identifier: ___
= layer + type of IUT: e.g. "L3N" for layer 3, IUT = network
= call state: e.g. N10 for Active call state
= group: one character field representing the group
reference according to TSS
V: Valid stimulus
I: Inopportune stimulus
S: Syntactically invalid stimulus
= sequential number: (001-999)

SIST ETS 300 403-6:1998

ETS 300 403-6: January 1997
6.1.2 Source of TP definition
The TPs are based on ETS 300 403-1 [1] and ETS 300 403-2 [2].
6.1.3 TP structure
Each TP has been written in a manner which is consistent with all other TPs. The intention of this is to
make the TPs more readable and checkable. A particular structure has been used which is illustrated in
table 2. This table should be read in conjunction with any TP, i.e. please use a TP as an example to
facilitate the full comprehension of table 2.

NOTE 1: Text in italics will not appear in TPs and text between <> is filled in for each TP and may
differ from one TP to the next.
NOTE 2: All messages shall be considered as "valid and compatible" unless otherwise specified in the
test purpose.
6.1.4 Test strategy
As the base standard ETS 300 403-1 [1] contains no explicit requirements for testing, the TPs were
generated as a result of an analysis of the base standard and the PICS specification ETS 300 403-3 [3].
The criteria applied include the following:
- only the requirements from the point of view of the T or coincident S and T reference point are
considered;
- whether or not a test case can be built from the TP is not considered.
6.1.5 Test of call states
Many TPs include a reference to the IUT's final call state after the realization of the TP. In these cases the
TP includes the requirement to ensure that the IUT has entered this particular final call state. Ensuring
that the IUT is in a particular call state shall be realized by following the procedures described in
subclause 5.8.10 of ETS 300 403-1 [1]. According to these procedures, the IUT on receipt of a STATUS
ENQUIRY message, shall respond with a STATUS message indicating, in the third octet of the Call state
information element, the current call state of the IUT. This exchange of messages is not mentioned
explicitly in each TP but is considered to be implicit in the reference to the final call state. This way of
phrasing the TPs has been used to avoid over-complicating the text and structure of the TPs and to
improve the readability.

ETS 300 403-6: January 1997
6.1.6 Test of point-to-multipoint configurations
In subclauses 6.2.1, 6.2.5, 6.2.6, 6.2.7 and 6.2.15 (call states Null N00, Call Present N06, Call Received
N07, Incoming Call Proceeding N09 and Overlap Receiving N25) a distinction is made between point-to-
point and point-to-multipoint configurations. In the case of a point-to-multipoint configuration several
terminals may be attached to one basic access interface. Each terminal will use a different Connection
Endpoint Suffix (CES). To reflect this in the TPs the CES for which a message is received or sent (e.g. ".
on receipt of an ALERTING message for CES1 .") is named explicitly where this clarification is needed.
6.1.7 Test of inopportune and syntactically invalid behaviour
In the test groups for inopportune and syntactically invalid behaviour the procedures as described in
subclause 5.8 of ETS 300 403-1 [1] are tested. This is done in each call state with one message for each
of the described error cases. Messages have been chosen that are, if they are received without the
inopportune or erroneous coding, expected messages in the call states under test.
Test purposes for inopportune behaviour that is described outside the subclause 5.8 of ETS 300 403-1 [1]
are found in the valid test groups. This was done, as these procedures are seen more as a part of the
basic call procedures than as a part of the error handling procedures.
6.2 TPs for the basic call control, layer 3, network
All PICS items referred to in this subclause are as specified in ETS 300 403-3 [3] unless indicated
otherwise by another numbered reference.
6.2.1 Null call state N00
6.2.1.1 Valid
