17、(PIXIT)“. ETSI ETSI TS 186 011-3 V4.1.3 (2012-05)51 Scope The present document describes the Abstract Test Suite (ATS) to test interoperability at IMS NNI for IP multimedia call control protocol based on TS 124 229 1. The ATS has been specified on the basis of the Test Descriptions for IMS NNI inter

18、operability testing presented in TS 186 011-2 3. It defines a TTCN-3 framework as well as codec and adapter requirements for analysing interoperability test execution traces generated from the manual or automatic execution of IMS interoperability tests. The scope of this ATS is not to cover all requ

19、irements specified in TS 124 229 1. It only assesses requirements that are observable at the NNI between two IMS core network implementations specified in TS 186 011-1 2. 2 References References are either specific (identified by date of publication and/or edition number or version number) or non-sp

The Mx and the Ici interface between two IMS core networks is used as point of observation (PO) for NNI inter

41、operability tests. 4.1.2 External IMS Nodes 4.1.2.1 UE The UE is considered to act as stimulus node in this test specification. The Gm interface between the P-CSCF and the UE is used as a Point of Control and Observation (PCO) for NNI interoperability tests. 4.1.2.2 AS The Application Server (AS) is

42、 considered to act as a stimulus node in this test specification. The ISC interface between the S-CSCF and the AS is used as Point of Control and Observation (PCO) for NNI interoperability tests. 5 Test configuration The test configuration is described in detail in TS 186 011-2 3. Test configuration

Here, each monitored IMS interface is paired with one dedicated Parallel Test Component (PTC) which receives all relevant message information from the TTCN-3 SUT Adapter (SA) via the abstract test system interface and checks it

44、s correctness according to the conformance criteria listed for a particular IMS test. An example test configuration is shown in figure 2.

46、epts stated in EG 202 810 i.25. Note that the figure 2 does not illustrate roaming and IMS/PSTN interworking aspects in a test configuration. In addition, it does not show the DNS server as an application support node for each IMS core network as well as its associated interface monitor component, w

47、hich are only required in a few tests. Note that TTCN-3 test components which are shown with dashed lines in figure 2 are only started for the execution of the test suite in live mode. The different types of TTCN-3 components used in this ATS are: Test Coordinator is a component type is dedicated to

48、 coordinate the behaviour of all other test components, which work on tasks independently of each other. It is in charge of controlling the overall execution, management of testing phases, conformance verdict and end-to-end interoperability verdict management, and synchronization. Equipment User is

49、a component type is dedicated to handle equipment operation, e.g. configure an IMS CN, make basic call or messaging from a UE, check for an incoming call notification on a UE, barring a user in a IMS CN, de-register a user forcefully from the IMS CN during a call. Interface Monitor is a component type that is dedicated to monitor one specific logical interface either between two EUTs or a EUT and an Application Support Node, e.g. IMS CN and a DNS server.
