The general configuration used is shown in figure 1. A Point of Control and Observation (PCO) resides at the service access point between layers 2 and 3 in the test system. The PCO used by the MTC is named "L0" (for Lower) and the PCO used by the PTC is named "L1". These PCOs are 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 these PCOs. A third "informal" PCO, called "O" (for Operator) is used to specify control but not observation above the IUT; events at this PCO are never used to generate test case verdicts. Messages sent by the tester at this PCO explicitly indicate to the operator actions which are to be performed on the SUT. This is regarded as a preferred alternative to the use of the implicit send event.

Figure 1: Multi-party test method Not all components are used in every test case and the relationship between the IUT and the tester depends on the test group: • When the IUT is in the Originating configuration, the IUT is only connected to the MTC. The verdict depends only on the behaviour observed at the PCO between the IUT and the MTC. The PTC1 is not used. The PTC2 and PCO O are used to specify control above the IUT. • When the IUT is in the Home configuration, the PTC1 and the MTC are both used. The verdict is assigned by the MTC or the PTC1 depending on the test purpose. The PTC2 is not used. SIST EN 301 454-2 V1.3.1:2003



ETSI ETSI EN 301 454-2 V1.3.1 (2002-01) 8 5 Untestable test purposes There are no untestable test cases associated with this ATS and ATM. 6 ATS conventions 6.1 Version of TTCN used The version of TTCN used is that defined in TR 101 101 [3]. 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 as 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/AM2 [2] and in TR 101 101 [3] 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/AM2 [2] 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 [4]. 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. In this particular ATS all ASN.1 type constraints which are of type "Component" are to be encoded using BER. SIST EN 301 454-2 V1.3.1:2003

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 [2], to produce a PCTR conformant with the PCTR template given in annex B of ISO/IEC 9646-5 [2]. Furthermore, a test laboratory, offering testing for the 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. 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 retained by the test laboratory. 9 PIXIT conformance A test realizer, producing an executable test suite for the ATS specification contained in annex C, is required, as specified in ISO/IEC 9646-4 [2], to produce an augmented partial PIXIT proforma conformant with this partial PIXIT proforma specification. An augmented partial PIXIT proforma which conforms to this partial PIXIT proforma specification shall, as a minimum, have contents which are technically equivalent to annex B. The augmented partial PIXIT proforma may contain additional questions that need to be answered in order to prepare the Means Of Testing (MOT) for a particular IUT. A test laboratory, offering testing for the ATS specification contained in annex C, is required, as specified in ISO/IEC 9646-5 [2], to further augment the augmented partial PIXIT proforma to produce a PIXIT proforma conformant with this partial PIXIT proforma specification. A PIXIT proforma which conforms to this partial PIXIT proforma specification shall, as a minimum, have contents which are technically equivalent to annex B. The PIXIT proforma may contain additional questions that need to be answered in order to prepare the test laboratory for a particular IUT. SIST EN 301 454-2 V1.3.1:2003



ETSI ETSI EN 301 454-2 V1.3.1 (2002-01) 10 10 ATS conformance The test realizer, producing MOT and ETS for this ATS specification, shall comply with the requirements of ISO/IEC 9646-4 [2]. In particular, these concern the realization of an ETS based on each ATS. The test realizer shall provide a statement of conformance of the MOT to this ATS specification. An ETS which conforms to this ATS specification shall contain test groups and test cases which are technically equivalent to those contained in the ATS in annex C. All sequences of test events comprising an abstract test case shall be capable of being realized in the executable test case. Any further checking which the test system might be capable of performing is outside the scope of this ATS specification and shall not contribute to the verdict assignment for each test case. Test laboratories running conformance test services using this ATS shall comply with ISO/IEC 9646-5 [2]. A test laboratory which claims to conform to this ATS specification shall use an MOT which conforms to this ATS. SIST EN 301 454-2 V1.3.1:2003
