1 Scope
The present document specifies the Abstract Test Suite (ATS) and partial Protocol Implementation eXtra Information
for Testing (PIXIT) proforma for the H225.0 protocol for Terminal, Gatekeeper and Gateway.
The objective of the present document is to provide conformance tests that give a greater probability of
inter-operability. The ATS & PIXIT specification covers the procedures described in
ITU-T Recommendation H.323 [3] and ITU-T Recommendation H.225.0 [4].
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]) is used as basis for the test methodology.

expected in the IUT current state) is sent to the IUT
syntactically invalid: test purpose covering a signalling procedure where a valid (expected in the current status of the
IUT) but not correctly encoded (unknown or incorrect parameter values) message is sent to the IUT, which shall react
correctly and eventually reject the message
valid: test purpose covering a signalling procedure where all the messages sent to or received from the IUT are valid
(expected in the current status of the IUT) and correctly encoded

The remote test method is applied for this ATS.

Figure 1: Remote test method with PCO T
A Point of Control and Observation (PCO) resides between the layer 4 and the tester, which executes the signalling
procedures corresponding to the test case dynamic behaviour. This PCO is named "T" because it is located above the
transport layer. The L PCO is used to control and observe the behaviour of the Implementation Under Test (IUT) using
the layers of the Service provider.
5 ATS conventions
5.1 Version of TTCN used
The version of TTCN used is that defined in TR 101 666 [11].
6 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.
7 PCTR conformance
A test laboratory, when requested by a client to produce a PCTR, is required, as specified in ISO/IEC 9646-5 [10], to
produce a PCTR conformant with the PCTR template given in annex B of ISO/IEC 9646-5 [10].
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.

8 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 [9], 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 [10], 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.
9 ATS conformance
The test realizer, producing MOT and ETS for this ATS specification, shall comply with the requirements of
ISO/IEC 9646-4 [9]. 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 [10].
A test laboratory which claims to conform to this ATS specification shall use an MOT which conforms to this ATS.
