1 Scope
The present document specifies the Abstract Test Suites (ATS) and partial Protocol Implementation eXtra Information
for Testing (PIXIT) proforma for the Network side of the T reference point or coincident S and T reference point of
implementations conforming to the stage three standard for the diversion supplementary services for the pan-European
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) by means of the Digital Subscriber Signalling System No. one (DSS1)
protocol, EN 300 207-1 [1].
EN 300 207-5 [3] specifies the Test Suite Structure and Test Purposes (TSS&TP) related to this ATS and partial PIXIT
proforma specification. 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 EN 300 207-1 [1].
The present document contains two ATSs for different parts of the protocol; one (CDIV) for Call Forwarding Busy,
Call Forwarding Unconditional, Call Forwarding No Response and Call Deflection and the other (SCF) for Selective
Call Forwarding Busy, Selective Call Forwarding Unconditional and Selective Call Forwarding No Response. Common
parts of the protocol are covered by the CDIV ATS.

4 Abstract Test Method
4.1 CDIV network side ATS
The multi-party test method is applied for the CDIV network side ATS.
The requirement for testing the network IUT is to focus on the behaviour of the network IUT at the user-network
interface where a T reference point or coincident S and T reference point applies. Thus the IUT is the network DSS1
protocol entity at a particular user-network interface and is not the whole network.
In practice the behaviour at a single user-network interface does not occur in isolation, but depends on the activity at
other user-network interfaces. Therefore a multi-party test method is used.
The general configuration used is shown in figure 1. In this ATS the PTCs act as slaves to the MTC; all active
behaviour at the PTCs is initiated by CMs sent by the MTC and all verdicts are assigned by the MTC. Not all
components are used in every test case.

Figure 1: Multi-party test method
For each test case the interface to which the MTC connected is the IUT, which may be the interface of the calling user,
served user or diverted-to user depending on the test group. PTCs are connected to any other interfaces where activity is
necessary. The association between the network interfaces and PTCs that is typically used is described in table 1.

NOTE: In some TCs PCO L2 is connected to the interface of the diverted-to user but no PTC is
associated with that PCO.

4.2 SCF network side ATS
The remote test method is applied for the SCF network side ATS as illustrated in figure 2.
The parts of the protocol specific to SCF (i.e. activation, deactivation and interrogation of the SCF services) do not
involve any activity at interfaces of users other than the served user and therefore it is not appropriate to use a
multi-party test method.
A Point of Control and Observation (PCO) resides at the service access point between layers 2 and 3 in the test system.
This PCO is named "L" (for Lower). The L 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.
Within test cases all communication with the IUT is via PCO L. However in some cases informal test co-ordination is
performed by re-configuration of the IUT between test cases.

6 ATS conventions
6.1 Version of TTCN used
The version of TTCN used is that defined in ISO/IEC 9646-3 [10].
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 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 [10]
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 ISO/IEC 9646-3 [10] 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 [13]. 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 first line of the table header comment field, the
notation "ASN1_Encoding: BER" is used.
Note that within BER, there are a number of variations for the encoding of lengths of fields. According to
EN 300 196-1 [4], an IUT should be able to interpret all length forms within BER for received PDUs. When sending
PDUs containing BER encoding, EN 300 196-1 [4] gives guidelines but makes no restrictions on the length forms
within BER which an IUT may apply.
In this particular ATS all ASN.1 type constraints which are of type "Component" are to be encoded using BER.

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 [12], to
produce a PCTR conformant with the PCTR template given in annex B of ISO/IEC 9646-5 [12].
Furthermore, a test laboratory, offering testing for either 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 except that either A.6.1 or A.6.2 may be omitted. 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 reta
