  1. ETSI Testing Projects ICT-OSA/Parlay WorkshopBrazil, March 2006 Anthony Wiles Manager ETSI Protocol and Testing Competence Centre

  2. The ETSI PTCC • Protocol and Testing Competence Centre • In-house team of experts providing direct support to ETSI Technical Bodies (for over 12 years) • Development of protocols and profiles and the application of modern specification techniques (35%) • ‘Standards Engineering’ • Validation of standards (5%) • E.g., testbed activities (IPv6, SIP/H.323) • Development of test specifications (60%) • Conformance tests • Interoperability tests • Network Integration tests • Others (PHY, performance …) • http://www.etsi.org/ptcc ETSI Testing Projects - ICT Workshop, Brazil March 2006

  3. Typical ETSI Test Specifications • Cellular: GSM and 3G (UMTS) terminals • Now includes IMS • WiFi: HiperMAN, HiperACCESS, WiMax • VoIP: H.323, SIP, SIGTRAN • Service Creation: OSA/Parlay (API, IDL) • IPv6: Core, Security, Mobility, v4-v6 • Cordless phones: DECT • Radio communications: TETRA, DMR • Access terminals: FSK, SMS • Broadband: ISDN, DSL • Smartcards: Readers, cards, security modules • Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS): DSRC • Future: More Security, more ITS, GRID ... ETSI Testing Projects - ICT Workshop, Brazil March 2006

  4. IPv6 Test SpecificationsSTF 276 • Joint ETSI – eEurope project • Supported by the ETSI membership • Mainly vendors • Require IPv6 test specifications using ETSI methods and test languages • Designed to be part of 3GPP and TISPAN NGN IPv6 testing strategy (where applicable) • European Commission: • Mandate for IPv6 device interoperability • Amplify Europe’s voice in IPv6 testing • Liaising with the IPv6 Logo Program • For more info visit: www.ipt.etsi.org ETSI Testing Projects - ICT Workshop, Brazil March 2006

  7. Results Phase 1 • Over 1100 Core IPv6 Requirements identified • Including 3GPP • 300 Core IPv6 conformance tests • fully validated • 120 Core IPv6 Interoperability Tests • fully validated • All these test specifications including TTCN-3 code are free and open source ETSI Testing Projects - ICT Workshop, Brazil March 2006

  8. STF276@Work ETSI Testing Projects - ICT Workshop, Brazil March 2006

  9. 3GPP UMTS (terminal) Test Specifications (STF 160) • Nobody can make money without interoperable handsets (UE)! • UE Interoperability towards access technologies is the key issue for mobility • Conformant UE = Interoperability (of UE in 3G networks) • Good experience from GSM • Solution: conformance testing • Very detailed test specifications • Based on the 3GPP core specs • Before commercial products enter the market • Voluntary declaration, but certified • One of the most important UE quality benchmarks ETSI Testing Projects - ICT Workshop, Brazil March 2006

  10. logging and analysis Mobile Under Test SS testing Executable Test Suite (e.g., C++) Test Report implementation compilation Methodology for 3G Testing Core specs 25.331, 25.321, 2 24.008, 44.018, 44.060 PICS (capability applicability) 34.123-2, 51.010-2 Test Purposes,34.123-1Descript (prose), 34.108, 51.010-1 Test Cases (TTCN) 34.123-3, 51.010-5 ETSI Testing Projects - ICT Workshop, Brazil March 2006

  11. 3G Test Industry Commitment is Vital • The TTCN test cases are implemented in the System Simulators (SS) on different platforms • Must secure the commitment of the SS vendors • SS vendors organise verification and regression testing • Each and every test case is validated • Bug-free tests have a high real value • Important to ensure that a TC will execute correctly even after updates • Early identification of clients who deploy the tests • Prioritising TCs • Scheduling the deployment • Certifications ETSI Testing Projects - ICT Workshop, Brazil March 2006

  12. Funding • Test specs developed at ETSI by STF160 • Duration of several years • Shared costs to ensure the funding • 3GPP funding from Organisation Partners • Main source, approx 1M€ (61 mm) /year) • Voluntary contributions from the marketing partners • Range from 65k€ - 150k€ (5 – 12 mm) /year • Man-power (free-of-charge) • Range from 15 - 18 mm /year ETSI Testing Projects - ICT Workshop, Brazil March 2006

  13. Typical 3GPP UMTS UE Tests • Protocol and signalling tests via radio interface • Largest part of the testing process • Full conformance tests • USIM functional tests • Identification, PIN, account charging, network priority, phonebook • UICC tests (SIM electrical test) • power on/off, 1.8v/3v detection, presence detection • bit/character transmitting duration, command processing and error handling • Acoustic tests • Loudness rating, idle noise, echo … • Radio Frequency & Radio Resource Management tests • Characteristics and performance tests of transmitter & receiver ETSI Testing Projects - ICT Workshop, Brazil March 2006

  15. Approval Process • Test cases are approved by e-mail • No quality compromise • Two week consultation period • TCs are approvedone by one • Each test must run on at least one SS platform against two independent commercial mobiles • Log files and radio conditions as support information for approval • Reason for this • TTCN TC, SS and UE are developed at the same time • None of them is perfect ETSI Testing Projects - ICT Workshop, Brazil March 2006

  16. Results • 400 TCs in 8 ATSs, 25 MB code • Platform independent • Running on > 4 platforms • We have reached the GCF 80% validated milestone • 3G mobile certification starting at beginning of 2005 • The light is green for mass 3G mobiles entering the markets • 4 types of 3G mobiles are ready to go • Begun the real 3G test business • 4 validated 3G SS platforms available in the markets • 4 test houses in Europe opening 3G test services • 3G TTCN experts becoming hot in the labour market • We know the price of each 3G coded TC • 10 k€ /TC • 3G investment for 4 years: 4 mil.€ for 400 TCs • All TTCN code can be downloaded free of charge • Code is continuously maintained and delivered • Every three weeks for 3G members • Every three months for everybody ETSI Testing Projects - ICT Workshop, Brazil March 2006
