1、ANSI INCITS 286-1997 (R2002)(formerly ANSI X3.286-1997)for Information Technology Abstract Test Suite for FDDI StationManagement Conformance Testing(FDDI SMT ATS)Approval of an American National Standard requires review by ANSI that therequirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for

2、approvalhave been met by the standards developer.Consensus is established when, in the judgement of the ANSI Board ofStandards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly andmaterially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more thana simple majority, but not necessarily

3、 unanimity. Consensus requires that allviews and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be madetowards their resolution.The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; theirexistence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approvedthe standards or not,

35、TART timer-name /* start the timer withpre-specified duration */n ?TIMEOUT timer-name /* test forexpiration for the specified timer */n +test-procedure-name /* call another testprocedure */n GOTO label /* goto another eventline with indicated label */As in many programming languages, a com-ment is a

36、 character string of the following form:/* Text of comment */A label for an event line is denoted by a se-quence of letters ending with a “:“, and ap pearsafter the indentation level number, for example,3 L1:?TIMEOUT C_min.The “!“ Transmit event means that the testerbegins sending the indicated line

37、 state andcontinues sending it until another “!“ operator isencountered.The START timer event may be combined withthe Transmit (!) or Line state check (?) eventlines. Multiple timers may be started on thesame event. For example,1 !QLS START TB_Min, START TB_Max.The event lines are evaluated starting

38、 from thefirst indentation level, 1. There may beseveral event lines at each indentation level. These event lines represent a set of alternativesand the tester must wait for at least one of themto occur before proceeding to the nextindentation level. If multiple events occur at thesame time, the eve

39、nt line appearing firstapplies. A transmit event line (!) is consideredto have occured or completed when thetransmission of the specified line state symbolsis initiated. A line state check event (?) issatisfied when the current line state matches thespecified state.When an event line is satisfied, t

40、he testermoves on to the next indentation level followingthat event line. If there is no higher level eventline, then the test is complete. If a completedANSI X3.286-19976event line contains a verdict specification, thetest is also considered completed, even if thereis a higher indentation level eve

41、nt line following.The event lines, with the exception of GOTO,SEND and Tree Attachment Event, may assignone of these verdicts: PASS, FAIL, orINCONCLUSIVE.A GOTO event can only specify the labels ap-pearing on the first line of an indentation levelthat is lower or equal to the current in dentationlev

42、el.An event line that invokes another procedure isconsidered not satisfied if none of the first levelevent lines in that procedure have occured.Note that PCM is intended to operate in verynoisy environments (perhaps as bad as a BERof 10 2 and does not generally react to briefnoise events. We do not

43、simulate noise in ourPCM tests except for the Link Quality Tests;rather we expect that the IUT and the testertransmit nothing but clean line states withoutany errors. If the IUT transmits NLS or LSU it isalways grounds for failure.“TTCN(P) does not use the normal TTCN Con-straints. This is because t

44、he Constraints sectionof TTCN uses PDUs rather than Line States todefine Con strai nts.An example illustrates the TTCN(P) notation.This example is the test case To_Next specifiedin 6.2.1.5:Procedure:1+Start_To_Connect2 !HLS Start C_Min3 A:?Timeout C_Min /*Comment*/4 B:?HLS5 Goto B4 ?ILS Pass4 ?Other

45、wise Fail(2)3 ?HLS4 Goto A3 ?Otherwise Fail(1)In To_Next the procedure Start_To_Connect isattached by the first statement:1+Start_To_Connect, which is specified in6.3.2, is:Procedure:1!QLS Start TB_Min2 ?Timeout TB_Min3 A:?QLS4 Goto A3 ?HLS /*Comment*/3 ?Otherwise InconclusiveThe key to understandin

46、g the attachment is thatthe attaching test is attached to each of theterminal leaves of the attached routine. Aterminal leaf is any statement other than aGOTO that has no lower layer and is notqualified with Pass, Fail or Inconclusive verdict.In Start_To_Connect there is one terminal leaf:3 ?HLSEach

47、 test has a specific purpose. The purposeof To_Next is to verify that the IUT remains inthe Connect State for at least C_Min beforegoing to the Next State. Start_To_Connect isused simply to bring the IUT to the ConnectState. Therefore it is a simple routine to prog-ress a correct IUT to the Connect

48、State anddoes not attempt to test all the requirements ofPCM to get to the Connect State; these aretested elsewhere in an incremental fashion.The first statement of Start_To_Connect, andthe only statement at level 1 is:1!QLS Start TB_MinThis statement causes the tester to transmitQLS and to start th

49、e TB_Min timer.Control falls to the next statement at level 2:2 ?Timeout TB_MinThis statement causes the tester to wait, stillsending QLS, until the timer TB_Min expires,since there is no alternative at this level. Thisshould cause the IUT to go to the Break State.There are three alternatives at level 3:3 A:?QLS.3 ?HLS3 ?Otherwise InconclusiveAlternatives at the same level are evaluated inorder and then the evaluation is repeated u
