Main Tested Components • Voice, audio and video CODECs • GSM/AMR (NB & WB) • AAC • H.263 • MPEG-4 Visual • Content negotiation & Transportprotocols • RTSP/SDP • RTP/RTCP • HTTP – for download and progressive download • 3GPP - File Format IMTC Forum – May 2004 – San Jose, California
Test Procedure • The tests are being done according to a test procedure that is developed and constantly improved by the group members (currently at version 0.5) • It was tailored to meet the needs of the vendors and the reference specification • The test is composed of 5 stages that can be divided into 3 main groups: • Offline test • Raw bitstream • FF • Virtual online test • Content negotiation / Transport protocols • Full system, Face-to-Face • Errorless / Simulated error condition / Wireless IMTC Forum – May 2004 – San Jose, California
Current Status • 15 vendors took part in the previous testing cycle. • The group is currently in the middle of the 4th test cycle having 24 participants companies • 94% of bitstream file exchange are already completed with success. • 93% of file format tests are already completed with success. • F2F meeting is planned to be in September as part of SuperOP. IMTC Forum – May 2004 – San Jose, California
Latest Improvements • Improved informative website • Improved testing document (ver 0.5) • Deployed automatic reporting tool (IOTzilla) • Implementation guide (ver 1.3) • Testing live streaming. • Testing Download and Progressive download. • Technical liaisons were issued by the group and approved in SA#4. • Performed F2F over a 3G Cellular network. IMTC Forum – May 2004 – San Jose, California
IOTzilla The PSS AG uses a unique tool named IOTZilla for tracking and managing the test points. The tool is provided to the group by Ximpo and gives us the following advantages: IMTC Forum – May 2004 – San Jose, California
IOTZilla • Enables the group to grow while maintaining the efficiency of testing. • Saves history of problems identified during testing. • Easy and secured access. • Gives a correct status of the tests in real time. • Saves time for the engineers . • User friendly. IMTC Forum – May 2004 – San Jose, California
Plans • A liaison relationship with 3GPP2 is now in progress in order to test the 3GPP2 specifications in addition to 3GPP. • Test 3GPP release 6 features in the next cycle • H264 • Scalability • Timed text • And more. IMTC Forum – May 2004 – San Jose, California
