ETSIEN 300 185-6 V1.2.4 (1998-06)8UTUpper Tester4Abstract Test Method (ATM)4.1Description of ATM usedThe requirement for testing the network IUT is to focus on the behaviour of the network IUT at the user-networkinterface where a T reference point or coincident S and T reference point applies. Thus the IUT is the network DSS1protocol entity at a particular user-network interface and is not the whole network.It is possible to specify an ATS based on a Single party (remote) test method for such an IUT. However, it is consideredthat an ATS based on such an approach is of limited use as the only way to specify IUT generated PDUs is to use the"implicit send" statement. Many users of such an ATS would replace the "implicit send" statements with descriptions ofthe behaviour at other interfaces.An ATS based on a multi-party test method is considered to be more useful in that it is closer to how a real test suitewould be constructed. Such a test method specifies behaviour at multiple network interfaces. One very importantlimitation here is that tests are focused on one particular interface. Thus the test system is made up one Main TestComponent (MTC) and one or more Parallel Test Components (PTC), see figure 1.4.1.1Conventions for test components and PCOsMaster partSlave partMTCAPTC2CPA2PTC1CPA1L0 PCOL1 PCOL2 PCOIUTNETWORKFigure 1: Multi-party test methodIn a master/slave arrangement, the MTC is considered to be the master while the PTCs are the slaves. The "slave" testersare only an explicit description of how to deal with the "other" interfaces during the testing process, i.e. "how to makethe IUT send the required message".SIST EN 300 185-6 V1.2.4:2003



ETSIEN 300 185-6 V1.2.4 (1998-06)9This means, in particular, that the verdict will only be assigned from the protocol aspects observed on the interfaceunder test (i.e. by the "master" tester), as it would be observed by a terminal connected to this interface. A failure in thecorrelation between the protocol at the different interfaces to which the different testers are connected, i.e. in themechanism of the functional service itself, will not cause a FAIL verdict. For instance, if the IUT fails to send a messageon the tested interface after another interface has received the proper stimulus, the verdict will be INCONCLUSIVE.The MTC MTCA has two functions in this configuration. Firstly, it has the MTC function of controlling the one or morePTCs. Thus it is responsible for starting the PTCs and afterwards co-ordinates activities by exchanging Co-ordinationMessages (CM) with the PTCs. Secondly it is responsible for the behaviour of the Lower Tester (LT) at PCO L0.A combination of the remote and multi-party test methods is applied. As can be seen from figure 1, several PCOs areused. All PCOs reside at the service access points between layers 2 and 3.MTCSUTPTC1,2Layer 3¾¾¾¾Layer 2¾¾¾¾Layer 1¾L0¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾IUT¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾

The L0 PCO is used to control and observe the behaviour of the IUTand test case verdicts are assigned depending on the behaviour observed at this PCO. The PTCs PTC1, PTC2 etc. usePCOs L1, L2 etc. These PCOs are used to control and, in a limited way, observe the behaviour of the networkequipment at interfaces other than the one under test. No verdicts are assigned at these PCOs.As stated in a previous paragraph, the non-receipt of network generated messages at L0, which are stimulated by eventsat the L1, L2 etc., will result in INCONCLUSIVE rather than FAIL verdicts being assigned.4.1.2Conventions for variables and parametersMTCAcall referenceCREF1B channel (basic)bch_num1(to PTC1)channel nr (primary)CH_NUM1call referenceCREF2B channel (basic)bch_num2(to PTC2)channel nr (primary)CH_NUM2PCO L0IPN0, LIPN0PTC1call referenceP1CREFB channel (basic)P1_bch_numchannel nr (primary)P1_CH_NUMPCO L1IPN1, LIPN1SIST EN 300 185-6 V1.2.4:2003

The CREF1 will be used without thePTC1. To add a party to the conference, a remote user with CREF2 using PTC2 is called.Some remote user test cases use 2 parties. To do that the first party is added by using the CREF2 with PTC1. After theparty has been added to the conference, CREF2 will be released. Then it is possible to add the second party by usingCREF2 with PTC2.4.1.4Conventions for the remote user groupFor this group, the side of the network which is being tested is where the conference remote user is connected. The mostconvenient approach here is to connect PTC1 to the IUT. The MTC is, as for the served user group test cases, connectedat the served user side of the network. This approach allows the reuse of test steps developed for the served user grouptests. This approach, representing a slight modification in the test method, is illustrated in figure 3. This shows that thepart of the network considered to be the IUT is connected to PTC1 rather than MTC1.Master partSlave partMTCAPTC2CPA2PTC1CPA1L0 PCOL1 PCOL2 PCOIUTNETWORKFigure 3: Multi-party test method - modified for remote user testsSIST EN 300 185-6 V1.2.4:2003



ETSIEN 300 185-6 V1.2.4 (1998-06)11The PTC1 is used to observe the notifications sent by the network. The test step PTC1_remoteUser_CR1 is used tocheck the receipt of the notification and depending on the result sends a CM back to the MTC. The MTC then issues averdict depending on the CM received from the PTC1. This is done in order to maintain the convention that the MTC isonly allowed to issue verdicts. However, one consequence of this is that any behaviour at the served user side which isnon-conforming will result in a Fail verdict being issued even though the focus of the tests is at the remote user side.This constraint is viewed as acceptable given the fact that in any case the network shall provide a conforming serveduser interface as well as one or more conforming remote us
