4.1 Configuration
The scope of the current specification is to test the signalling and procedural aspects of the stage 3 requirements as
described in [1]. The stage 3 description respects the requirements to several network entities and also to requirements
regarding to end devices. Therefore several interfaces (reference points) are addressed to satisfy the test of the different
entities.
Therefore to test the appropriate entities the configurations below are applicable:
Testing of the Application Server: This entity is responsible to perform the service. Hence the ISC interface is the
appropriate access point. Figure 2 points to this.

Figure 2: Applicable interface to test AS functionalities
ETSI
7 ETSI TS 186 015-2 V2.1.1 (2009-07)
If the ISC interface is not accessible it is also applicable to perform the test of the AS using any NNI (Mw, Mg, Mx)
interface (consider figure 3). In case only the Gm interface is accessible this shall be used instead. In this case, be aware
that the verification of several requirements is impeded.

5 Test Purposes (TP)
5.1 Introduction
For each test requirement a TP is defined.
5.1.1 TP naming convention
TPs are numbered, starting at 001, within each group. Groups are organized according to the TSS. Additional references
are added to identify the actual test suite and whether it applies to the network or the user (see table 1).
ETSI
8 ETSI TS 186 015-2 V2.1.1 (2009-07)
Table 1: TP identifier naming convention scheme
Identifier: __
= supplementary service: e.g. "ECT"
= type of IUT: U User
N Network
= group 2 digit field representing group reference according to TSS
= sequential number (001-999)

5.1.2 Test strategy
As the base standard TS 183 029 [1] contains no explicit requirements for testing, the TPs were generated as a result of
an analysis of the base standard and the PICS specification TS 186 015-1 [2].

Test purpose
Communication transfer: Assured transfer. Transferor was originator of the originating call.
Ensure that a Transferor can successfully transfer the communication with the transferee set on hold before and
the Transferor is notified about the processing. After the communication between the Transferee and the Transfer
Target is confirmed, the communication between Transferor and Transferee is terminated. The Transferor was the
initiator of the originating communication.
