Status Reports(STF 213, MTS-IPT, STF 236)and Info(STF 219, STF 224) Anthony Wiles MTS#36 Budapest, March 2003
STF 213TTCN-3 Edition 2 • STF 213 Closed December 2002 • On time, on budget • Parts 1 - 5 v2.2.1 now published • PTCC web updated as requested by MTS#35 • Part 6 (TCI) to be approved at this meeting (Ina) • CR process being managed on an 'emergency' basis • All CRs, status (28.02.03), living list etc. on PTCC website • Need to discuss new STF - June 2003 (?) and 2004 • When do we decide to hav next revision (2.3.1, 3.1.1)? • Training material (approval): Gyorgy (voluntary work) • New Rapporteur (Gyorgy/Sarolta?) • TTCN-3 promotion activities? MTS#36, Budapest, March 2003
EP TIPHON (DTS/00065-1,2,3 R4) STF 213 and STF 224 • STF 224: Generic approach to interoperability testing • Methodology • Terminology • Abstract test architectures (general model which resolves to special cases) • Test development process (using simple UML) • Testing process (also in UML) • Assumes conformance testing been done previously • Installed an experimental SIP-H.323 test bed at ETSI • Voluntary equipment from various vendors • Gatekeepers, Gateways, IWF, SIP/H.323 terminals etc. • STF 219: H.323-SIP Interoperability Test Scenarios • Several hundred test cases; • Now being aligned with the methodology (validated on test bed) MTS#36, Budapest, March 2003
MTS-IPT (General) • Kick-off meeting held in October 2002 • MTS ToR approved by Board to include these activities • Info/News/Press release • http://www.etsi.org/ptcc/ptccIPT.htm • 1-page status input to Board#42 (MTS 36TD16) • Two main activities • SIGTRAN • IPv6 MTS#36, Budapest, March 2003
MTS-IPT (SIGTRAN) • Lot of interest in SIGTRAN test specifications • 8 active voluntary participants (8 companies) • Representatives from MTS, SPAN and IETF • Plus 4 observers and 1 uncommitted (3 companies) • Concentrating on M3UA and SCTP • Have draft TPs (for both) • Must align with SPAN's subset for SIGTRAN • Hope to go to TTCN-3 for ATS • Should open WI's as needed. Need 2 WIs now: • TSS&TP for M3UA (main driver GN Nettest now Navtelcom) • TSS&TP for SCTP (main driver TestingTech) • Workplan needs to be drawn up • STF not needed - all homework (coordinated by PTCC) MTS#36, Budapest, March 2003
MTS-IPT (IPv6)STF 236 • STF 236 started work in January • Anthony Wiles (PTCC), Scott Moseley • César Olivera, César Viho (voluntary), Frédéric Roudaut • Max Frey (including 5 days voluntary) • Steve Randall (3 days - in April for review) • 75 of 87 days used with 4 days not yet assigned • Major milestones • 14 March: 1st Draft (OK) • 1st Progress Report TD12 • Mid April: 1st proposal to EC • EC have changed date to end of April • 25 April: TB approval • request slight delay (start process end of April or even mid-May) MTS#36, Budapest, March 2003
STF 236Identified Work Packages • Identified 7 Work packages • WP1: Toolbox and Core • WP2: Transitioning • WP3: Mobility • WP4: IPSec • WP5: QoS • WP6: Routing • WP7: Multicast • Based on areas of common interest to • EC eEurope / European industry / ETSI members • 3GPP (mid/end 2004) • ETSI NGN (late 2004) • IPv6 Forum certification scheme (2004) MTS#36, Budapest, March 2003
STF 236Contents • Introduction/background • Interested players: IETF, EC, 3GPP, ETSI TBs, IPv6 Forum etc. • Basic concepts • Description of each workpackage • 1st shot at resource estimate (need to revise) • In region of 270 man-months total (!) • Can PIck-'n-Mix • Lot of data! see annexes: • Tables, data, lists of RFCs, 3GPP, priorities, existing test suites etc. for each package • Proposal for eEurope 2005 - to do • ToR etc. for individual STFs not done (suggest to wait) MTS#36, Budapest, March 2003
STF 236Basic Concepts • Toolbox is a key concept • TTCN-3 toolkit • Max will talk about this • Core IPv6 protocol • Other test suites based on toolbox • Core part • Specific part • Savings • Good SW engineering approach • 20% per test suite • Easier maintenance • Adaptability/Extensibility (3GPP, SMEs, NGN etc.) MTS#36, Budapest, March 2003
STF 236Basic Tasks - Core (9.2.3) • Methodology • Toolbox • Core protocol mechanisms • Patterns • Switches • User guide • Integration of TTCN-2/3 • Core protocol test suite (conformance/IoP) • Needed? Already out there with TAHI, UNH etc. • But we need enough on which to build other WP test suites MTS#36, Budapest, March 2003
STF 236Basic Tasks - Other Packages • Specification of Minimum Requirements • Minimum RFCs • Minimum reqs - like PICS • Definition of Test Architecture and Methods • Engineering approach • Use of toolbox • TPs (Reuse?) • Test Suites • Both Conformance and Interop test specifications • Reusibility (IoP assumes test specs already exist) • Validation (voluntary?) MTS#36, Budapest, March 2003
STF 236Tool Support • TTCN-3 will be used • Both for Conformance and Interop tests • In IPv6 Forum the IoP tests are automated • Existence of tool support will be essential • Additional package? • Voluntary? • Other project (e.g., IST6 TIPI)? MTS#36, Budapest, March 2003
STF 236Timelines • Funding from EU not likely before Sept/October 2003 • No funding from ETSI likely in 2003 • If we wish to start earlier • Will need to be on a voluntary basis • Work anticipated to span 2004 - 2006 MTS#36, Budapest, March 2003
STF 236 Cost sharing issues • The commission only funds 50% • ETSI STF budget (FWP/PTCC) is not large • Will require some voluntary activity • Other projects • TIPI (but also only 50%) • May be possibility for 100% but the situation is unclear MTS#36, Budapest, March 2003
STF 236What next - short term • Week 14 - 16 • Anthony finish TR • Use of English etc. needs a thorough rationalisation (AW) • Draft proposal for EC if possible • Week 17 • Anthony, Steve, Scott • Need decision from MTS on which packages and where to place them (which projects)!! • Finalise proposal for EC • 3-4 pages to Gavin for the Commission • ToRs for phase 1 packages (?) • Approval of TR can begin after that (from week 18) MTS#36, Budapest, March 2003
STF 236What next - longer term • Anthony (PTCC) can continue with proposal • But not alone! • Need support from MTS • Full technical annex • Based on data from the TR • Partners!!! • Resource plan (voluntary vs. funded) • etc. • Completed by September? MTS#36, Budapest, March 2003
