3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply:
- terms defined in ISDN User Part (ISUP) reference specification [5];
- terms defined in ISO/IEC 9646-1 [1], ISO/IEC 9646-3 [2] and in ISO/IEC 9646-7 [3].
In particular, the following terms apply:
Abstract Test Case (ATC): complete and independent specification of the actions required to achieve a specific test
purpose, defined at the level of abstraction of a particular Abstract Test Method, starting in a stable testing state and
ending in a stable testing state (see ISO/IEC 9646-1 [1], clause 3.3.3)
Abstract Test Method (ATM): description of how an IUT is to be tested, given at an appropriate level of abstraction to
make the description independent of any particular realization of a Means of Testing, but with enough detail to enable
abstract test cases to be specified for this method (see ISO/IEC 9646-1 [1], clause 3.3.5)
Abstract Test Suite (ATS): test suite composed of abstract test cases (see ISO/IEC 9646-1 [1], clause 3.3.6)
Implementation Under Test (IUT): implementation of one or more OSI protocols in an adjacent user/provider
relationship, being part of a real open system which is to be studied by testing (see ISO/IEC 9646-1 [1], clause 3.3.43)
ISDN number: number conforming to the numbering and structure specified in ITU-T Recommendation E.164 [30]
Means of Testing (MOT): combination of equipment and procedures that can perform the derivation, selection,
parameterization and execution of test cases, in conformance with a reference standardized ATS, and can produce a
conformance log (see ISO/IEC 9646-1 [1], clause 3.3.54)

PICS proforma: document, in the form of a questionnaire, which when completed for an implementation or system
becomes the PICS
PIXIT proforma: document, in the form of a questionnaire, which when completed for the IUT becomes the PIXIT
Point of Control and Observation: point within a testing environment where the occurrence of test events is to be
controlled and observed, as defined in an Abstract Test Method (see ISO/IEC 9646-1 [1], clause 3.3.64)
Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS): statement made by the supplier of a protocol claimed to
conform to a given specification, stating which capabilities have been implemented (see ISO/IEC 9646-1 [1],
clause 3.3.39 and clause 3.3.80)
Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT): statement made by a supplier or implementor of
an IUT (protocol) which contains or references all of the information related to the IUT and its testing environment,
which will enable the test laboratory to run an appropriate test suite against the IUT (see ISO/IEC 9646-1 [1],
clauses 3.3.41 and 3.3.81)
System Under Test (SUT): real open system in which the IUT resides (see ISO/IEC 9646-1 [1], clause 3.3.103)
User: access protocol entity at the User side of the user-network interface where a T reference point or coincident S and
T reference point applies
