4 Abstract Test Method (ATM)
4.1 Description of ATM used
The requirement for testing the network Implementation Under Test (IUT) is to focus on the behaviour of the network
IUT at the user-network interface where a T reference point or coincident S and T reference point applies. Thus the IUT
is the network DSS1 protocol entity at a particular user-network interface and is not the whole network.
It is possible to specify an Abstract Test Suite (ATS) based on a single party (remote) test method for such an IUT.
However, it is considered that an ATS based on such an approach is of limited use as the only way to specify IUT
generated Protocol Data Units (PDUs) is to use the "implicit send" statement. Many users of such an ATS would replace
the "implicit send" statements with descriptions of the behaviour at other interfaces.
An ATS based on a multi-party test method is considered to be more useful in that it is closer to how a real test suite
would be constructed. Such a test method specifies behaviour at multiple network interfaces. One very important
limitation here is that tests are focused on one particular interface. Thus the test system is made up one Main Test
Component (MTC) and one or more Parallel Test Components (PTCs), see figure 1.

Figure 1: Multi-party test method
In a master/slave arrangement, the MTC is considered to be the master while the PTCs are the slaves. The "slave" testers
are only an explicit description of how to deal with the "other" interfaces during the testing process, i.e. "how to make
the IUT send the required message".
This means, in particular, that the verdict will only be assigned from the protocol aspects observed on the interface
under test (i.e. by the "master" tester), as it would be observed by a terminal connected to this interface. A failure in the
correlation between the protocol at the different interfaces to which the different testers are connected, i.e. in the
mechanism of the functional service itself, will not cause a FAIL verdict. For instance, if the IUT fails to send a message
on the tested interface after another interface has received the proper stimulus, the verdict will be INCONCLUSIVE.
The MTC MTCA has two functions in this configuration. Firstly, it has the MTC function of controlling the one or more
PTCs. Thus it is responsible for starting the PTCs and afterwards co-ordinates activities by exchanging Co-ordination
Messages (CMs) with the PTCs. Secondly it is responsible for the behaviour of the Lower Tester (LT) at Point of
Control and Observation (PCO) L0.
A combination of the remote and multi-party test methods is applied. As can be seen from figure 1, several PCOs are
used. All PCOs reside at the service access points between layers 2 and 3.
