1 Scope
The present document (TS) contains the Abstract Test Suite (ATS) and partial PIXIT proforma to test the Dedicated
Short Range Communication (DSRC); Application layer.
The objective of the present document is to provide a basis for conformance tests for DSRC equipment giving a high
probability of inter-operability between different manufacturer's equipment.
The ISO standard for the methodology of conformance testing (ISO/IEC 9646-1 [6], ISO/IEC 9646-2 [7] and
ISO/IEC 9646-3 [8]) are used as a basis for the test methodology.

Figure 1: Test architecture for DSRC Application layer
A single party testing concept is used, which consists of the following abstract testing parts:
Tester: A test machine that is running a TTCN engine allowing parallel testing and having a
standard DSRC LLC, MAC and Physical layer.
SUT: System under test: Can be RSU or OBU Implementation.
Test Case: A standard TTCN test case.
APPL: A standard DSRC Application to be tested.
LLC: A standard DSRC LLC layer.
MAC: A standard DSRC MAC layer.
T-Kernel-SAP: A SAP between T-Kernel and B/I-Kernel, i.e. above T-Kernel encoding/decoding function.
5 Untestable Test Purposes (TP)
This clause gives a list of TPs which are not implemented in the Abstract Test Suites due to the chosen Abstract Test
Method or other restrictions.

Test purpose Reason



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.

---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
10 ETSI TS 102 486-2-3 V1.2.1 (2008-10)
To define the ATS, the guidelines of the document ETS 300 406 [5] was considered.
6.1 Naming conventions
6.1.1 Declarations part
This clause describes the naming conventions chosen for the elements of the ATS declarations part.
6.1.1.1 General
The following general rules apply for the names given in the declarations part.
Names of ASN.1 types imported from the base standard are preserved.
Predefined types (e.g. BITSTRING [8]) are never used in structured type definitions, ASP type definitions or PDU type
definitions. Simple types are used instead.
All declarations in the test suite are listed in alphabetical order. A different order of listing should be used for only
maintenance reasons.
6.1.1.2 Test suite operations
The test suite operation identifiers are prefixed with "TSO_".
EXAMPLE: TSO_substring.
6.1.1.3 Test suite parameter declarations
If the test suite parameter references a Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) item, the test suite
parameter identifiers are prefixed "TSPC_".
EXAMPLE 1: TPC_extended_rf_carriers.
If the test suite parameter references a PIXIT item, the suite parameter identifiers are prefixed "TSPX_".
EXAMPLE 2: TSP_pmid.
If the test suite parameter represents a system parameter, the complete name defined in the protocol is used.
6.1.1.4 Test case selection expression definition
The test case selection expression identifiers begin with the prefix "SEL_".
6.1.1.5 Test suite constant declarations
The test suite constant identifiers are prefixed "TSC_".
If the test suite constant represents a system parameter, the complete name defined in the protocol is used.
6.1.1.6 Test suite variable declarations
The test suite variable identifiers are prefixed "TSV_".
Complete names as defined in the protocol are used.
6.1.1.7 Test case variable declarations
The test case variable identifiers are prefixed "TCV_".
Complete names as defined in the protocol are used.
