4 Introduction
Implementations Under Test (IUTs) which are to be tested using this ATS are required to have previously
been tested for conformity against and passed the test suites for ETS 300 102-1 [1] or ETS 300 403-1 [6].
Any messages or fields within messages which are introduced by ETS 300 403-1 [6] are included in this
ATS. Behaviours in test cases have been described in such a way to be able to take into account both
ETS 300 102-1 [1] and ETS 300 403-1 [6] basic call standards. This ATS also takes into account
messages defined for the supplementary services, in particular ETS 300 196-1 [2]. When such messages
are received, they are ignored by the ATS as this is not within the scope of this ETS.

5 Abstract Test Method (ATM)
5.1 Description of ATM used
This ATS describes the testing specification of the protocol procedures and switching functions needed to
support the videotelephony and telephony 7 kHz teleservices at T or coincident S and T reference points
for the network.
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 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 considered that 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 of the 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 suite would be constructed. Such a test method specifies behaviour at multiple network
interfaces. One very important limitation here is that tests are focused on one particular interface. Thus
the test system is made up of one Main Test Component (MTC) and one or more Parallel Test
Components (PTC), see figure 1. No actual testing is performed by the MTC, as all Points of Control and
Observation (PCOs) are on the PTCs.
5.2 Conventions for test components and PCOs
Figure 1 shows a logical view of the complete configuration of the MTC, PTCs, and PCOs. The
Co-ordination Point (CP) relationships between the various components are also indicated. In a
master/slave arrangement, PTC0 is considered to be the master while PTC1 and PTCT are the slaves.
The "slave" testers are only an explicit description of how to deal with the "other" interfaces during the
testing process, i.e. "how to make the IUT send the required message".

Page 12
ETS 300 267-6: April 1998
This means, in particular, that the verdict FAIL will only be assigned from the protocol aspects observed
on the interface under test (i.e. by PTC0), as it would be observed by a terminal connected to this
interface. A failure in the correlation between the protocol at the different interfaces to which the different
testers are connected, i.e. in the mechanism of the functional service itself, will not cause a FAIL verdict.
For instance, if the IUT fails to send a message on the tested interface after another interface has
received the proper stimulus, the verdict will be INCONCLUSIVE.
The MTC, PTCM, handles all scheduling of test components and exchanges messages with PTCs to start
or to stop the running of their associated tree. There are communication paths or CPs between the MTC
and each PTC, and also between PTC0 and the "slave" PTCs PTC1 and PTCT.
The PTC0 PCO is named "L0" ("L" for Lower). The L0 PCO is used to control and observe the behaviour
of the IUT and test case verdicts are assigned depending on the behaviour observed at this PCO. The
PTCs PTC1 and PTCT use PCOs L1 and T. These PCOs are used to control and, in a limited way,
observe the behaviour of the network equipment at interfaces other than the one under test. Only PASS or
INCONCLUSIVE 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 events at L1 or T will result in INCONCLUSIVE rather than FAIL verdicts being assigned.
5.3 Description of PCOs
The PCOs are used to control and observe the behaviour of the IUT. Preliminary test case verdicts are
assigned depending on the behaviour observed at those points. The final verdict is set by the MTC at the
end of the test.
5.3.1 D-channel PCOs
For the D-channel, the PCOs reside at the service access point between layers 2 and 3. These PCOs are
named "L0" and "L1". The same Abstract Service Primitives (ASPs) as defined in ETS 300 403-7 [7] are
used.

5.4 Naming conventions
5.4.1 Test cases
The structure of test case identifier is as follows:
TTC_ test case covering a telephony 7 kHz requirement;
VTC_ test case covering a videotelephony requirement.
The digits corresponds to the digits of the Test Purpose (see ETS 300 267-5 [5]) involved in the test case.
The TPs are ordered:
a) by type of requirement (i.e. generic, telephony 7 kHz or videotelephony);
b) by a three digit number which specifies the relevant position in the Test Suite Structure (TSS):
- the first digit refers to the second test group level:
1 for Originating interface (ORIG);
2 for Destination interface (DEST);
- the second digit refers to the third test group level:
1 Valid behaviour (BV);
2 Invalid behaviour (BI);
3 Inopportune behaviour (BO);
- the third digit refers to the fifth test group level:
1 Fallback allowed (FBA);
2 Fallback not allowed (FBN);
3 Connection management (CMN);
c) by a two digit sequence number:
the sequence number follows the order in which the TPs appear in the third level of the TSS.

5.4.3 Trees and subtrees
Test step names use upper case letters and local subtrees use lower case letters.
Preamble subtrees are prefixed by "PTCx_PR_" and postamble subtrees by "PTCx_PO_", where x can be
0 or 1 depending on the PTC for which this subtree is defined.
6 Untestable test purposes
TPs for generic protocol requirements do not correspond to specific protocol behaviour and only describe
parts of ETS 300 267-1 [3] which support the telephony 7 kHz and videotelephony teleservices. These
TPs have been considered as untestable.

Page 11Draft prETS 300 267-6: April 19975Abstract Test Method (ATM)5.1Description of ATM usedThis ATS describes the testing specification of the protocol procedures and switching functions needed tosupport the videotelephony and telephony 7 kHz teleservices at T or coincident S and T reference pointsfor the network.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 isthe network DSS1 protocol entity at a particular user-network interface and not the whole network.It is possible to specify an ATS based on a single party (remote) test method for such an IUT. However, itis considered that an ATS based on such an approach is of limited use as the only way to specify IUTgenerated PDUs is to use the "implicit send" statement. Many users of such an ATS would replace the"implicit send" statements with descriptions of the 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 areal test suite would be constructed. Such a test method specifies behaviour at multiple networkinterfaces. One very important limitation here is that tests are focused on one particular interface. Thusthe test system is made up of one Main Test Component (MTC) and one or more Parallel TestComponents (PTC), see figure 1. No actual testing is performed by the MTC, as all Points of Control andObservation (PCOs) are on the PTCs.5.2Conventions for test components and PCOsFigure 1 shows a logical view of the complete configuration of the MTC, PTCs, and PCOs. TheCo-ordination Point (CP) relationships between the various components are also indicated. In amaster/slave arrangement, PTC0 is considered to be the master while PTC1 and PTCT are the slaves.The "slave" testers are only an explicit description of how to deal with the "other" interfaces during thetesting process, i.e. "how to make the IUT send the required message".PTCMPTC1L1PTCTTCPM1MTCPTCsPCOsPTC0CP01 CPM0L0IUTTESTERNetworkCPMTCP0T MasterPartSlavePartFigure 1: Multi-party test methodSIST ETS 300 267-6:1998



Page 12Draft prETS 300 267-6: April 1997This means, in particular, that the verdict FAIL will only be assigned from the protocol aspects observedon the interface under test (i.e. by PTC0), as it would be observed by a terminal connected to thisinterface. A failure in the correlation between the protocol at the different interfaces to which the differenttesters are connected, i.e. in the mechanism of the functional service itself, will not cause a FAIL verdict.For instance, if the IUT fails to send a message on the tested interface after another interface hasreceived the proper stimulus, the verdict will be INCONCLUSIVE.The MTC, PTCM, handles all scheduling of test components and exchanges messages with PTCs to startor to stop the running of their associated tree. There are communication paths or CPs between the MTCand each PTC, and also between PTC0 and the "slave" PTCs PTC1 and PTCT.The PTC0 PCO is named "L0" ("L" for Lower). The L0 PCO is used to control and observe the behaviourof the IUT and test case verdicts are assigned depending on the behaviour observed at this PCO. ThePTCs PTC1 and PTCT use PCOs L1 and T. These PCOs are used to control and, in a limited way,observe the behaviour of the network equipment at interfaces other than the one under test. Only PASS orINCONCLUSIVE verdicts are assigned at these PCOs.As stated in a previous paragraph, the non-receipt of network generated messages at L0, which arestimulated by events at L1 or T will result in INCONCLUSIVE rather than FAIL verdicts being assigned.5.3Description of PCOsThe PCOs are used to control and observe the behaviour of the IUT. Preliminary test case verdicts areassigned depending on the behaviour observed at those points. The final verdict is set by the MTC at theend of the test.5.3.1D-channel PCOsFor the D-channel, the PCOs reside at the service access point between layers 2 and 3. These PCOs arenamed "L0" and "L1".

However, the names of the subclausesare arranged in a way more suitable to this ETS.7.1Declarations part7.1.1Type definitions7.1.1.1Simple type definitionsWhere appropriate, simple types have a length, a value list or a range restriction attached.Simple types defined as being of some string type (e.g. BITSTRING, OCTETSTRING), have a lengthrestriction or a value list attached.Simple types, defined as being of INTEGER type, have a value list or a range restriction attached.7.1.1.2Structured type definitions7.1.1.2.1TTCN structured type definitionsAll structured type definitions are provided with a full name.All elements in every structured type definition, defined as being of some string type (e.g. BITSTRING,OCTETSTRING), have a length restriction attached.If an element in a structured type definition is defined as being of a referenced type, the (possible)restriction is defined in that referenced type.For information elements the identifier, which is unique for each element, has its type defined as a simpletype where the value list is restricted to the single value which is the identifier itself. This has theadvantage that it allows a test system derived from this ATS to easily identify information elementsembedded in messages. An ATS where information element identifiers are represented as unrestrictedtypes can present difficulties for a derived test system in the case where it needs to find one informationelement embedded in a number of others and the constraints for the other elements have the any-or-omitvalue. In such a case the test system cannot easily find the beginning of each information element.7.1.1.2.2ASN.1 structured type definitionsThere are no ASN.1 structured type definitions in the ATS.7.1.1.3ASP type definitions7.1.1.3.1TTCN ASP type definitionsTTCN ASP type definitions only contain one PDU or no PDU at all.All TTCN ASP type definitions are provided with a full identifier.SIST ETS 300 267-6:1998
