Aim of Standardisation

Ultimate aim of standardisation is (global) interoperability

Likelihood of interoperability is increased with Well-defined, accurate and unambiguous standards Standards that are validated Systematic testing of products based on those

standards

Means standards of high technical quality Through the pragmatic use of modern techniques … for specification (UML, SDL, ASN.1) … and testing (TTCN)

Ensuring interoperability?

Traditionally, conformance testing has been the domain of telecommunications industry while interoperability testing has mainly been limited to the Internet world

Many see these as either/or solutions

Recent experience shows that both approaches have their strengths when used wisely.

Value to combine conformance testing with interoperability testing

Quality of specifications also contribute to interoperability

Unique ETSI Resources

TC MTS (Methods for Testing and Specification) Development of methodologies, techniques and languages http://portal.etsi.org

ETSI PTCC (Protocol and Testing Competence Centre) Supports ETSI TBs on the application of formal techniques in

standards on a daily basis Development of test specifications (conformance and interop) http://www.etsi.org/ptcc

ETSI Plugtests Service Validation of standards and prototypes through

interoperability events (bake-offs) http://www.etsi.org/plugtests

All three entities are highly complementary

During a Plugtests event, engineers can “Come & Test” !

Known also as bake-off, plugfests and interop

Plugtests : Provides useful feedback to the standardization process A unique opportunity to meet partners and competitors Improves both quality and interoperability of

implementations Helps debugging fast all together Technical event only. No sales, no marketing No certification, not a lab

We make it easy for you !

Come &Test, We’ll do the rest !

You will meet your technical community gathered in the same place over a week, working on the same issues

Efficient and quick debugging

COST & TIME SAVING !

PTCC mandate Provide expert support to ETSI Technical Bodies

State-of-the art techniques for developing protocol specifications

Expertise and management assistance for test specification development

In both cases we provide• Language expertise

• Tools expertise

• Pragmatic methodology expertise

The emphasis is on protocol aspects less involved with radio parameter specifications or

testing

ETSI and Testing

ETSI produces test specifications Developed by Specialist Task Forces (STFs) under PTCC Does not do actual testing or certification

Is a strong demand for test suites Radio and other physical aspects are regulatory Increased self-testing done by ETSI members Test Suites are integral to development processes

Mainly conformance testing specifications But also interoperability test specifications

MTS IPT (IP Testing group) Scoping phase (Jan-March 2003) Concentrate on IPv6 (QoS, security, mobility aspects)
