1 Scope
The present document specifies the protocol conformance testing in TTCN for the 3GPP User Equipment (UE) at the
Gm interface.
rd
The present document is the 3 part of a multi-part test specification, 3GPP TS 34.229. The following TTCN test
specification and design considerations can be found in the present document:
- the overall test suite structure;
- the testing architecture;
- the test methods and PCO definitions;
- the test configurations;
- the design principles, assumptions, and used interfaces to the TTCN tester (System Simulator);
- TTCN styles and conventions;
- the partial PIXIT proforma;
- the TTCN files for the mentioned protocols tests.
The Abstract Test Suites designed in the document are based on the test cases specified in prose
(3GPP TS 34.229-1 [5]).
The present document is valid for UE implemented according 3GPP Releases starting from Release 5 up to the Release
indicated on the cover page of the present document.
2 References
The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present
document.
- References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.) or
non-specific.
- For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply.
- For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies. In the case of a reference to a 3GPP document (including
a GSM document), a non-specific reference implicitly refers to the latest version of that document in the same
Release as the present document unless the context in which the reference is made suggests a different Release is
relevant (information on the applicable release in a particular context can be found in e.g. test case title,
description or applicability, message description or content).

4 Requirements on the TTCN development
A number of requirements are identified for the development and production of TTCN specification for 3GPP UE at the
Gm reference point.
1. Top-down design, following 3GPP 34.229-1 [5], 3GPP TS 34.123-1 [2], 3GPP TS 34.108 [7].
2. A unique testing architecture and test method for testing all protocol layers of UE.
3. Uniform TTCN style and naming conventions.
4. Improve TTCN readability.
5. Using TTCN-3 (ES 201 873-1 [12]).
6. TTCN specification feasible, implementable and compilable.
7. Test cases shall be designed in a way for easily adaptable, upwards compatible with the evolution of the 3GPP
core specifications and the future Releases.
8. The test declarations, data structures and data values shall be largely reusable.
9. Modularity and modular working method.
